The Space subpanel is the foundation of work management in Kaamfu’s Work panel. It is where departments, teams, or major work areas are created and structured into columns called Space Groups. Within these groups, you can add individual Spaces that form the starting point of the entire task hierarchy.
📍 Where to Find the Spaces Subpanel #
The Spaces subpanel is the first section you see when you open the Work panel. To access it, click on the Work button in the navigation sidebar. The panel that appears in the center of the screen is the Spaces subpanel. To its right, you’ll find the Boards subpanel, followed by the Items subpanel. This layout ensures that you always begin building work from the top of the hierarchy.

🎯 Why This Feature Matters #
The Space subpanel matters because it is the entry point into organizing all work in Kaamfu. Without properly setting up Spaces, the rest of the hierarchy—Boards, Item Groups, and Items—cannot be created. This structure solves the problem of scattered work by ensuring every task is linked to its rightful department or work area.
There are three main reasons this feature is important:
- Foundation of hierarchy: All tasks depend on Spaces being created first.
- Organizational clarity: Spaces keep departments and functions neatly separated.
- Scalable structure: Adding Space Groups allows teams to scale their organization without losing track of work.
By anchoring work to clearly defined Spaces, teams ensure smoother collaboration and accurate tracking of tasks and time.
👤 Who Should Read This #
The Space subpanel is useful for anyone who needs to organize and manage work in Kaamfu. Key audiences include:
- Organization Owners: To structure the entire workspace for departments and teams.
- Admins: To manage how teams are divided into Spaces and ensure consistency.
- Team Leads: To understand how projects are grouped at the top level.
All users benefit from knowing how Spaces are structured since tasks they work on originate here.

📄 Feature Overview #
The Space subpanel is the first subpanel in the Work panel, located in the navigation sidebar. It consists of columns called Space Groups, which act as containers for individual Spaces. A Space represents a department or team and sits at the top of Kaamfu’s work hierarchy.
From here, you can:
- Add Space Groups to categorize multiple Spaces.
- Create individual Spaces within each group.
- Build the foundation for Boards, Item Groups, and Items.
This structure ensures every piece of work in Kaamfu is properly organized from the top down.
💡 Key Benefits #
Using the Space subpanel provides several benefits for managing your organization’s work:
- Clear hierarchy: Establishes a structured framework that keeps departments and projects distinct.
- Scalability: Makes it easy to expand by adding more groups and Spaces as your organization grows.
- Time tracking readiness: Enables accurate time tracking, since tasks can only exist when the hierarchy begins with a Space.
Together, these benefits make the Space subpanel essential for building an efficient, organized workspace in Kaamfu.
