Tape's hierarchy structure is at the platforms core. Your team can easily manage actionable items using the hierarchy by breaking down work into organized levels.
Tape's hierarchy is structured through 4 levels:
One organization has at least one workspace
One workspace has at least one app
One app has
many records
An organization is the top level of the hierarchy structure. Connects all members and includes all your teams work. Choose best a team or organization name e.g. your company name "Acme Inc." Think of an organization in Tape as a home for all your work.
Workspaces bring together a specific group of people to collaborate on the same work. Allow your team to separate work and meet the needs of various teams. You can create workspaces and invite selected members. Workspace members have access to all the apps and records in that workspace. Many businesses use workspaces to separate departments within their organization or define collaboration through the content of the work. Might create a workspace with the name e.g. Project Management, Sales, Human Resources, a specific project name etc.
Databases in Tape are applications, called apps, that organize records. With an app you can design a specific function directly for the user. Each app is its own databases and has its own settings. Build an app by customizing fields. An app's structure will determine how records within it are structured. The name of an app is usually plural and the record name is singular, because several records are in one app. Use e.g. tasks for the app name and task for a record name or contacts for app and contact for record name.
A record is a single item in an app. Records are the lowest level and the most important part of the Tape hierarchy structure. Records are most used. The purpose of records is direct collaboration and creation of value through data.
