By bringing multiple Sources together into a single customizable Layout, **Spaces** provide the same situational awareness experience as a traditional Display Wall—right from your desktop. Think of a Space as your own personal Display Wall. Like the Display Wall Control found in the Desktop Client, a Space allows you to arrange live cameras, dashboards, maps, web pages, graphics, media, and other Sources into a Layout that fits your workflow. Unlike a physical Display Wall, however, a Space belongs to you and can be shared with other users or even displayed on a physical Display Wall when collaboration requires it. Whether you're monitoring day-to-day operations or managing an active incident, Spaces provide a flexible way to build and maintain your own operational picture. [![Spaces UI](https://knowledge.vis-ability.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Spaces%20UI.jpg?width=670&height=496&name=Spaces%20UI.jpg)](https://resources.vis-ability.com/8f5bd9a848.html) **How do they Work?** A **Space** is made up of Sources that have been opened within your Desktop Client session. Once added, those Sources behave just like content on a Display Wall. Within a **Space**, users can: - **Open and arrange multiple Sources.** - **Resize and reposition content.** - **Add or remove Sources at any time.** - **Create layouts optimized for their workflow.** - **Monitor multiple systems from a single window.** - **Save their workspace automatically.** Rather than continually opening individual cameras, dashboards, or applications, users can create a Space that keeps everything they need organized in one place. In essence, you're creating a **Display Wall at your desk**—one that is completely customizable and always available. **Collaboration** **Spaces** are designed not only for individual productivity but also for collaboration. A **Space** can be shared with other authorized users, allowing multiple people to view the same operational picture without requiring everyone to recreate the layout themselves. Common collaboration scenarios include: - **Shift handoffs between operators.** - **Incident response coordination.** - **Cross-agency collaboration.** - **Engineering and maintenance workflows.** - **Executive operational dashboards.** - **Temporary event workspaces.** Because the **Space** remains synchronized, everyone viewing it sees the same collection of operational information. **Permissions** Every Space includes configurable permissions that determine who can access and modify its contents. Depending on operational needs, a Space can be configured as: - **Private** – Visible only to the owner. - **Shared** – Accessible to selected users or groups. - **Public** – Available to all authorized vis|ability users. - **Read-Only** – Viewable by others without allowing modifications. These permissions allow organizations to balance collaboration with appropriate access control. **Bottom Line: Why Use Spaces?** Spaces provide a flexible way to organize operational information without requiring dedicated display hardware. Whether you're monitoring critical infrastructure, managing an incident, collaborating across departments, or simply creating a personalized workspace, Spaces allow every user to build and share a real-time operational picture tailored to their needs. By combining the flexibility of a desktop workspace with the collaborative capabilities of the vis|ability platform, Spaces enable organizations to extend situational awareness far beyond the physical control room. - [Home](https://knowledge.vis-ability.com/en/vis-ability.co-knowledge) - [Product Commissioning](https://knowledge.vis-ability.com/productcommissioning) - [Training](https://knowledge.vis-ability.com/product-training) - [Partners](https://knowledge.vis-ability.com/en/partner-portal) - [Customer Portal](https://knowledge.vis-ability.com/tickets-view?status=all&view=my_tickets&offset=0) [![viz2024-activu-KO](https://knowledge.vis-ability.com/hs-fs/hubfs/viz2024-activu-KO.png?width=254&height=68&name=viz2024-activu-KO.png "viz2024-activu-KO")](https://www.vis-ability.com) [mailto:info@vis-ability.com](mailto:info@vis-ability.com) Copyright © 2025
