Workspace Template

Once someone in your organization has created a workspace, there's no need to create a new one from scratch. You can share it with others in order to reuse shared concepts. Here's how you can do that:

1. The new user will create a new nested folder on their computer called people/<workspace-name>, for example people/wincorp.

   Note

   The workspace folder is nested inside the people folder because if the user decides to create any new workspaces, they will create it inside this people folder.

2. You, the original workspace creator, will copy your core.ppl file and assets folder with everything in it from your workspace folder and share it with them.

   Warning

   Ensure that your people.ppl file and your work folder is NOT included. These include your private entries that you will not want to share.

3. The new user will put the shared core.ppl file and assets/* folder and contents in their newly created people folder on their computer.

4. This new user will find the member associated with them in the core.ppl and copy their member ID. For example, if Kevin Osei was creating a user for himself, he would find this block in core.ppl and copy kevin_osei:

   member kevin_osei {
     first_name: "Kevin"
     last_name: "Osei"
     job: software_engineer_2
     email: "test-kevin-osei@wincorp.com"
   }
   

5. The new user will then create their own people.ppl file inside their people/<workspace-name> folder.

6. Inside that file, they will create their user by adding a user block that uses their ID from above. For example, Kevin Osei would type this in his people.ppl file:

   user kevin_osei {}
   

7. This new user can now open this workspace in the People Work app by going to File > Open Workspace > Open Existing Workspace, and clicking on their newly created workspace folder.
