Create a new space
Jira apps comes with many different space templates created to suit your team's needs and workflow. For example, you can create spaces optimized for Scrum or Kanban methodologies, or for tracking simple, straightforward tasks for marketing, legal, HR or other business teams.
Jira admins can create spaces from any template, including both company-managed or team-managed spaces. Any user can create their own team-managed space (like the team-managed Scrum or Kanban spaces). Jira admins can change this setting in global permissions.
To create a space:
Select Space, then Create space in the navigation.
Under space templates, templates are grouped into a library of use-case based categories. Under Apps, templates are grouped by Jira Cloud apps. Choose a category or app.
Learn more about the available templates and select a template.
View the detailed information on the template and choose Use template.
Choose either company-managed or a team-managed. More about team-managed spaces
Give your space a name. You can change your service space template by selecting Change template.
Select Create.
We automatically generate a space key when the space is created. Whoever created the space is set as the space owner by default.
To change these details:
From your space sidebar, select Space settings.
Select Details.
We remember which template you choose and use that as the default whenever you create a space.
Create a space that shares its configuration with another space
Only Jira admins can create spaces with a shared configuration. The shared configuration setting isn't available on Free plan.
Spaces that share configuration share:
work types
workflows
screens
fields
permissions
notifications
If a change is made to one of the spaces' configurations, that change affects all the spaces that share that configuration. You'll be notified if a setting is shared.
To create a space with a shared configuration:
Select Space, then Create space in the navigation.
Under space templates, templates are grouped into a series of use-case based categories. Under Apps, templates are grouped by Jira Cloud apps. Choose a category or app.
