# Set up your workspace

You can access it at any time by clicking Manager in the top-left navigation.

### Getting started

When you first open the Manager Dashboard, you'll see a guided setup wizard with five steps. You can complete these in any order, or skip the wizard entirely and come back later.

#### Step 1: Set up roles

Roles control what each team member can do across your workspace. You'll find built-in roles ready to use, or you can create custom ones tailored to your team's structure. To configure roles:

1. Click Set up roles in the wizard, or go to Roles in the left sidebar under Settings.

2. Review the default roles and their permissions.

<figure><img src="https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2FtdwxDRyZDUxV1CJUfSfE%2FScreenshot%202026-03-24%20at%208.43.34%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=8c679256-6b43-423a-8157-7dd59bd74207" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

3. Create custom roles if needed — give each a name, description, and select the permissions it should have.
4. You can set permission scopes to control access at a granular level (e.g. which projects a role can access).

#### Step 2: Add your team

Invite team members so they can start working on projects.

1. Click Add your team in the wizard, or go to Users & Groups in the left sidebar.

<figure><img src="https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2FKxARfPaoSiBScPfTDb2u%2FScreenshot%202026-03-24%20at%209.06.08%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=e654127c-8baa-43d6-b61e-2eb0f5373a9b" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2FqejDi4LKubvwNHRxkE90%2FScreenshot%202026-03-24%20at%209.06.34%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=05067b1e-5a77-4049-9b8b-e997c3ee9243" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2. Enter the person's email, set a temporary password (they can change it after logging in), and choose their organisation role (Editor, Admin or External).&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2FDtOW6PcyMZBBgd1w2S8K%2FScreenshot%202026-03-24%20at%209.08.14%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=6a59d2b3-a46c-4950-8aa2-1fe1c28a980e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

3. Assign roles to each of the added members.

<figure><img src="https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2F6Zcmd5dccQaTx5cuBdOq%2FScreenshot%202026-03-24%20at%209.09.31%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=e739cfb2-9a2e-4ac1-ab8b-a22cd5b7ca97" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

4. Optionally assign them to [groups](https://youtu.be/A71qmmiJBr0?si=8hqJeg4jjb0dl9re) or create a new group.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2FH485I59s1I9i6TkBg0rc%2FScreenshot%202026-03-24%20at%209.10.15%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=ab00671a-6328-40d5-a491-333e1bde01fd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Step 3: Organize groups

Groups let you organize team members for easier project access management.

1. Go to Users & Groups in the left sidebar or click on New Group.

<figure><img src="https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2FGVnT8F60G6bHfdwyF2h5%2FScreenshot%202026-03-24%20at%209.10.33%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=93b9cd49-1aea-4575-ac42-2f4dd2434855" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2. Create a group (e.g. "Research Team", "Programming Team").
3. Add members to groups. A user can belong to multiple groups.

<figure><img src="https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2Fr1MatH4jNI6xRj1tXVbW%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=d0da2a2d-58d7-4eaf-bbcc-a83232be76c6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

3. You can rename or delete groups at any time. Deleting a group does not remove the users from your workspace.

#### Step 4: Connect a platform

Connect your survey hosting platform so projects can sync directly.

1. Click Connect a platform in the wizard, or go to Integrations in the left sidebar.

<figure><img src="https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2FoyVBgObs09qzfAYHe9wY%2FScreenshot%202026-03-24%20at%209.10.50%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=2dee1600-7fd3-4ae7-85f1-acfa330159ba" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2FwJq64N7fsFG6JFem3n6j%2FScreenshot%202026-03-24%20at%209.11.20%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7efdc67b-0441-4914-97b6-923dfc45f40c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2. Choose your platform:

<figure><img src="https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2FjQMCZ67A3vd46ai1dUYR%2FScreenshot%202026-03-24%20at%209.11.52%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=5a4c14c4-d12d-4cd0-97d0-434435738706" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Forsta / Decipher: Enter your Decipher API credentials (domain and API key). Once connected, you'll be able to sync surveys and see the sync status on the Overview page.
* Confirmit: Enter your Confirmit base URL.
* Qualtrics: Enter your Qualtrics base URL.

<figure><img src="https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2FTm3lHbselY6y7f2iPrN3%2FScreenshot%202026-03-24%20at%209.14.07%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=f44097f4-efdd-414d-8496-214ea455d87e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

3. You can also set up API accounts under Integrations if your team needs programmatic access. Each account can have its own set of API keys.

<figure><img src="https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2F4tPpjvlcBMmHRu5LNLWj%2FScreenshot%202026-03-24%20at%209.14.47%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7b299b9c-3e80-4a67-b8ab-29364ec6fb56" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Step 5: Configure notifications

Set up how and when you receive notifications about project activity.

1. Go to Notifications in the left sidebar.
2. Configure your global preferences — choose whether you want in-app notifications, email, or both.
3. Fine-tune per notification type — you can enable or disable specific categories (e.g. project edits, sync failures, mentions).
4. Mark notifications as read individually or in bulk from the notification feed.

### Overview

<figure><img src="https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2FnZ7gag5NrfZ5JQuZ9J7A%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=ce837b44-7fec-4a05-aa8a-8c1413ee99ad" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The Overview page is your at-a-glance summary. It shows four key metrics as cards at the top, each with a sparkline trend and a comparison to the previous period:

* Active Projects — how many projects are currently active (not archived), with the change since last period.
* Team Members — how many people are in your workspace, with new additions highlighted.
* Generations — how many AI generations were run across all projects, with period-over-period comparison.
* Edits This Week — total edits (human + AI) across all projects, with trend.

You can switch the time window using the tabs in the top-right: 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, or 3 months. All metrics and trends adjust to the selected window\.Below the metric cards you'll see two panels:

#### Member Activity

A ranked list of team members showing how many projects each person contributed to during the selected period. Click View all to see the full team breakdown.

#### Decipher Sync Summary

If you've connected Forsta/Decipher, this panel shows the current state of your project syncs:

* Synced — projects that are successfully connected and up to date.
* Pending — projects where an initial sync is still in progress.
* Not connected — projects that haven't been linked to a Decipher survey yet.

Click View all to see per-project sync details.
