Overview

A Place in Jive is essentially a container that houses all the collaborative content for a specific subject or team. A Space, on the other hand, is a type of place, built in a hierarchy, with the ability to have a network of multi-level sub-spaces underneath it. This article provides information on how to create a new space from the Admin Console. Although you can create spaces from the user interface, it is easier to create several spaces quickly from the Admin Console.
