What are Spaces?

Below is a review of the functionality shown on the new Stories page. If seeking information regarding the legacy Stories page, see the section at the bottom of this documentation or reach out to us at support@shortcut.com.

Overview

All views on the Stories page are organized as Spaces. You can create and share Spaces on your "All Work" Stories Page across teams, or on your Team-Scoped Stories page with your teams for views to run Stand-Up, or manage specific projects. 

A Space can be any combination of Projects, Epics, Workflow States, and keyword filters. Some example Spaces might be: "My Work", "My Squad's Work", or "All Bugs Without Owners".

We provide a few permanent Spaces, which appear with a star instead of a circle. You can only make changes to the Spaces you have created. These are indicated by a personal or shared icon (indicating a Shared Space).

Types of Spaces

Shortcut has created a few default Spaces that are already shared with your workspace (admins can change these spaces to adjust the preferred workflow and filters!):

  • All Work: View all Stories associated with the workflow filter selected.
  • Owned by Me: View all Stories owned by you, associated with the workflow filter selected.
  • Requested by Me: View all Stories you requested, associated with the workflow filter selected.
  • Updated in Last Week:  View all Stories updated in the last week, associated with the workflow selected.
  • Current Iteration (available on your team-scoped Stories pages): View Stories owned by your team in the current started iteration.
  • Bugs and Fixes (available on your team-scoped Stories pages): View Bug Stories owned by your team.

"Personal" vs. "Shared Spaces"

    A Space can be any combination of Projects, Epics, Workflow States, and keyword filters. Some example Spaces might be: "My Work", "My Squad's Work", or "All Bugs Without Owners".

    We provide a few permanent Spaces, which appear with a star instead of a circle. You can only make changes to the Spaces you have created. These are indicated by a circle icon or a signal icon (indicating a Shared Space).

     

    Tips:

    • You can quickly jump between your first nine Spaces by pressing numbers 1 through 9 on your keyboard.
    • For more intuitive creation and updating of Spaces:
      • Modify the filters on any Space and you will have the option to update the Space you started with or create a new one.
