A workspace in Advahini is a self-contained environment that holds your screens, content library, playlists, schedules, and team members. Every action you take in the app — uploading an asset, connecting a screen, building a playlist — happens inside the workspace you currently have selected. Workspaces do not share screens or content with each other, so changes in one workspace never affect another.

What belongs to a workspace

When you are working inside a workspace, everything you see and create belongs to it:
  • Screens — only screens connected to this workspace appear in your Screens list
  • Assets — files uploaded here are only available in this workspace’s playlists
  • Playlists and schedules — content programmes are workspace-scoped
  • Team members — people you invite are added to this workspace with the role you choose

Create a workspace

You can create a new workspace from two places in Advahini: the Dashboard or Settings > Workspaces.
  1. Open the Dashboard from the left navigation.
  2. Scroll to the Workspaces section.
  3. Click + Create Workspace.
  4. Enter a workspace name (required) and an optional description.
  5. Click Create.
The new workspace appears in your workspace list immediately.
Your subscription’s screen capacity is shared across all your workspaces. Adding more workspaces does not increase the number of screens you can connect — it only separates how they are organised.

Switch between workspaces

To switch to a different workspace, go to the Dashboard and find the workspace you want in the Workspaces list. Click Select next to it. The app reloads with that workspace active and all screens, content, and settings scoped to it. The currently active workspace is indicated by a Selected label on the Dashboard and shown in the workspace context throughout the app.

Edit or delete a workspace

To rename a workspace or update its description, click the edit icon next to it on the Dashboard or in Settings > Workspaces. Change the name or description and click Save Changes. To delete a workspace, click the delete icon (trash) next to it and confirm in the modal that appears. Deleting a workspace is permanent and cannot be undone.
Deleting a workspace permanently removes all screens, playlists, schedules, and assets associated with it. Export or reassign anything you want to keep before deleting.

Workspace roles

Every team member in a workspace has a role that determines what they can see and do. Advahini has five workspace-level roles:
RoleWhat they can do
Workspace OwnerFull control — manage workspace settings, screens, content, assignments, and zones
Workspace AdminSame permissions as Workspace Owner
Screen ManagerView screens, connect new screens, edit screen settings, assign content, and edit zones — cannot delete screens
Screen OperatorView screens, activate screens, and assign playlists or schedules to screens
Screen ViewerView screens and preview the player — cannot make any changes
Team members are invited from Settings > Team. When you invite someone, you choose which workspace they join and which role they receive. A person can belong to multiple workspaces with different roles in each.

When to create multiple workspaces

Use one workspace per logical unit of your signage operation. Common patterns:
  • One workspace per location — “London Office”, “Manchester Store”, “Berlin HQ”. Each location’s team only sees that location’s screens and content.
  • One workspace per client — if you manage digital signage for multiple clients, keep each client in its own workspace so their content and screens never mix.
  • One workspace per brand or department — retail companies often separate workspaces by brand or business unit (e.g. “Brand A – Retail” and “Brand B – Hospitality”).
Start with one workspace and create additional ones as you grow. You can always move to a multi-workspace setup later — just create a new workspace and reconnect the relevant screens to it.
