General Settings

Settings that apply to a single workspace.

The General page of a workspace holds the settings that apply to that workspace and everything in it.

Modifying the settings requires the Workspace Admin role. Select Save settings to apply a change.

Workspace basics

Setting	What it does
Name	The workspace name, shown in the breadcrumb and in the workspace switcher. Often a project or a site, such as "Office Noerd".
Description	Optional free text, up to 500 characters. A street address is a common choice.
Location	The place the workspace represents. Select Edit location to set or change it.
Time Zone	The time zone the workspace operates in, for example (GMT+2) Europe/Zurich.
Data retention	How long data from this workspace is kept. infinite keeps it indefinitely.

The workspace time zone is what dashboards group by. Day, week, and month boundaries in a chart follow the workspace time zone rather than each viewer's browser, so everyone looking at the workspace sees the same buckets. It also defines the day boundaries used by occupancy settings.

Shortening data retention causes data older than the new period to be dropped. Forward anything you need to keep to a long-term destination with an output connector before reducing it.

Sections

Section	What it controls
Lifecycle report	Daily or weekly email reports on device health, covering offline devices, weak signals, and low batteries.
Workspace properties	A free-form JSON object of extra metadata, readable through the REST API.
Occupancy settings	Working days and hours, so that aggregations ignore the times the space is closed.
Device Setup Assistant	The mapping file used when devices are configured on site.
Actions	Deleting the workspace.

Tags and custom fields are also defined per workspace, but are managed on their own pages rather than under General.
