The Spaces module is ideal for showcasing related team or project spaces in a single view. It can also be used to display a list of spaces, with optional filtering by space category, making navigation more focused and organized.

Open

Insert Spaces

To add a module to a Confluence page, follow these steps:

Configuration

Layout

The Layout tab defines how Spaces module are presented, offering options to choose the view type and control how all spaces items will appear within the module.

Open

Display Options

The display settings allow selection from several views to best match the desired presentation style. Available options include Card, and List. Each offering a distinct layout for showcasing pages content.

Flexible display elements

Spaces module can be customized by enabling or disabling elements such as Author, and Description. This allows flexible presentation of spaces content, adapting the appearance to various communication goals or visual styles.

Styling

Styling options include corner rounding, background image and icon size.

Pagination

The Spaces module offers customizable pagination settings to manage content display and improve performance. It is possible to choose between three pagination types: Show More, Previous/Next, and Inactive (no pagination).

Two key settings are available:

• Items per page: Defines how many spaces items are initially loaded on the first page.

• Max number of items: Sets the maximum number of spaces items displayed within the module.

These options help control content volume, particularly useful in environments with many active spaces, ensuring both performance and a smooth user experience.

Content

The Content tab defines the source of the spaces and controls which content is displayed. Content can be configured in two ways: Dynamic or Manual.

Open

Dynamic

By applying filters, the widget automatically updates to display newly published content that matches the defined criteria. This ensures the spaces feed stays current without requiring manual updates. Content can be filtered by categories, spaces type, and space status, allowing precise control over what is shown.

Manual

This method enables manual selection of specific spaces for display. It offers greater control over the content shown but requires manual updates to include new spaces, making it a more curated and less automated approach.

Group Spaces in tabs

Tabs in the Spaces module help organize related content in a clean, structured layout within a single module. Instead of creating multiple separate Spaces modules for different topics, tabs allow grouping them together, making content easier to manage and navigate.

Personalized content

View permissions can be managed globally for the entire module or individually per tab when tabs are enabled. Using Collections from Cosmos, it's possible to define exactly who can see specific content. This enables personalized experiences, where different tabs are visible to different audiences, each showing tailored information based on user groups.

The personalization feature, powered by Cosmos – the Intranet for Confluence, enhances this even further. With tabs, each section can reflect a unique theme or target group. Without tabs, the entire module can be focused on a specific audience, creating a unified and purposeful display.
