Workspaces
A workspace is the self-contained space where a group collaborates — every issue, member, comment, and agent belongs to one.
A workspace is the self-contained space where a group collaborates in Multica — every issue, member, comment, and agent belongs to one. The issue list, member roster, and agent configuration you see after logging in are all scoped to the current workspace; switching workspaces replaces the entire view.
Creating a workspace
Three things get decided when you create a workspace:
- Workspace name — the display name members see. Spaces and non-ASCII characters are allowed. You can change it later.
- Slug — the string used in the workspace URL. Lowercase letters and digits only (joined with
-). It cannot be changed after creation, so pick carefully. If the slug is taken or hits a system-reserved word, the create screen will ask you to choose another. - Issue prefix — the prefix for every issue number in the workspace (the
MULinMUL-123). Use uppercase letters.
Avoid changing the issue prefix. Issue numbers are rendered with the current prefix — change it and MUL-5 instantly becomes NEW-5. Every external link, Slack mention, and historical reference in comments breaks against the old number. Treat the issue prefix as "set at creation, never touched."
You can create a workspace from the web UI or from the command line:
multica workspace createIssue numbers
Every issue created in a workspace is automatically assigned a number in the format <prefix>-<digits> — MUL-1, MUL-2, MUL-3. A few properties:
- Sequential and unique within a workspace — each workspace keeps its own counter; workspaces don't interfere with each other.
- Not manually assignable — when you create an issue you only supply a title; the number is assigned by the system.
- Never reclaimed on delete — delete
MUL-5and the next new issue isMUL-6, notMUL-5.
Deleting a workspace
Only a workspace owner can delete the entire workspace. Deletion is irreversible.
Deleting a workspace wipes the following all at once:
- Every issue, project, comment, and reaction
- Every attachment
- Every membership and pending invitation
- Every agent configuration along with its task history
Data cannot be recovered. Export anything you need to keep before deleting.
If you're the last owner of a workspace and want to walk away from it, transfer the owner role to another member first, then have the new owner (or you) decide whether to delete. See Members and roles.
