Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up and customize a new Space in ClickUp.

Quick summary

A ClickUp Space is a top-level organizational unit that groups related Lists, Folders, and tasks under one roof. Creating a Space lets teams define custom views, task statuses, privacy settings, and ClickApps to match their exact workflow.


Steps

  1. In the Sidebar, hover over the Spaces section and click the plus icon to start creating a new Space.
  2. Select an avatar color and icon for your Space, or upload your own custom image.
  3. Name your Space and add a description to help teammates understand its purpose.
  4. Choose the privacy setting — make the Space public, private, or shared with specific people.
  5. Click Continue to proceed to the next configuration step.
  6. Choose the default view for your Space, such as List, Board, or Calendar.
  7. Configure the default task statuses for the Space — choose from templates like To Do, In Progress, Done or create your own custom statuses.
  8. Enable ClickApps for the Space, such as Time Tracking, Custom Fields, and other additional features.
  9. Click Create Space to finalize the setup and make your new Space available to your team.
  10. Your Space is ready — you and your team can now stay organized and productive within the newly created Space.

📌 Why this matters

Creating a Space in ClickUp is the foundational step for structuring any team's workflow inside the platform. Spaces allow teams to segment work by department, project, or function, with full control over views, task statuses, privacy, and enabled features like Time Tracking and Custom Fields. This level of customization means teams can tailor ClickUp precisely to how they work, rather than adapting their processes to a rigid tool. For organizations evaluating project management software, the ability to quickly configure a purpose-built Space is a key indicator of how fast they can get up and running.
