Setting Up Your Workspace: The Full Picture
Understand how the main settings areas fit together and why setup order matters before your team starts working.
Your workspace settings are where you define the foundations that everything else in Stackcess is built on — your organisation profile, product structure, and distribution setup.
Why planning your setup matters
Stackcess is designed so that product content is consistent, structured, and channel-ready. If your product models, attribute groups, and fields are inconsistent or poorly named, your team will create duplicates, miss required content, and push inaccurate records to channels.
A good setup takes a few hours at the start, but saves weeks of rework later.
The recommended setup sequence
- Organisation — set your workspace name, logo, and description
- Product models — define the types of products you manage and how they are structured
- Attribute groups — organise your fields into logical sections for editors
- Product fields — define the specific data points you capture, with validation and scope rules
- Attach fields to groups — connect fields to the right groups in the right order
- Markets, channels, and destinations — set up your distribution structure
- Test with sample products — create a few test records and check everything works as expected
- Freeze the architecture — once your team starts using the system, changes to product models and fields become harder to make without affecting existing data
Organisation settings
