Request the creation of a new workspace

You can submit a request a for a new workspace from the PortalTalk Workspaces web part.
You do this within the workspace category that the new workspace should belong to.

You need specific permissions within a workspace category to be able to request a new workspace. If you do not have permissions to request a new workspace, the option won't be visible to you either.
When you request a workspace, your request will be made known to the users with permission to create workspaces within the relevant category, by means of an automatic email message.
Once your request has been approved or denied, you will receive a corresponding automatic email confirmation. If necessary, refer to the manual page regarding approving or rejecting a workspace request.
