Choose the right workspace

Every HiveAware record belongs to a workspace. Choosing the right one prevents private and shared apiary records from becoming mixed.

Personal records​

Use My Apiaries for yards, hives, and history that belong to you. This is the safest default when nobody else needs to own or act on the records.

Shared records​

Use an organization workspace for a club, crew, business, customer operation, or any apiary managed by more than one person.

To switch:

  1. Open the profile menu.
  2. Review the available workspace names and their apiary or hive counts.
  3. Select the intended workspace.
  4. Confirm the workspace name in the application header before creating or changing records.

Invite and manage members​

When organization features are enabled:

  1. Open Workspace.
  2. Review the current member list and your available actions.
  3. Send an invitation to the member's email address.
  4. Ask the recipient to accept the invitation from the emailed link.
  5. Confirm the accepted member appears in the workspace.

Available management actions depend on your role. If an action is missing, ask a workspace owner or administrator to perform it.

Rule of thumb

If another person needs to own, review, or act on the record, use a shared workspace. Otherwise use My Apiaries.

Avoid records in the wrong workspace​

Always check the workspace before adding an apiary, hive, inspection, treatment, feeding, or inventory item. If you cannot see an expected record, switch workspaces before recreating it.
