Personal vs. business workspaces
The differences between personal and business workspaces in Vieolo, and how to choose the right type.
Vieolo has two types of workspaces. A personal workspace is for individuals, freelancers, or a group of friends, and a business workspace is for registered companies, businesses, and organizations. Both types can have several members and use most of the same features, but some features exist for only one type. The type is chosen when the workspace is created and cannot be changed later.
What both types share
- ReChive, for the documents you send and receive
- Members, invitations, permissions, and access levels
- Connections, products, tags, share targets, and email notifications
- The strict auditable mode
- Usage that counts toward the owner's subscription
What is different
Business workspaces
- RePloyee is only available in business workspaces, because personal workspaces have no employees. See RePloyee.
- The official name is the "Company name", entered on the "Detail" tab of the workspace form.
Personal workspaces
- ReChive offers the "Pay slip" entry type, for the pay slips you receive from your employer. Business workspaces don't have it.
- The official name is the "Legal name", entered on the "Contact info" tab of the workspace form.
Which type should I choose?
Choose business if the workspace belongs to a registered company or organization, or if you want to track employee documents with RePloyee.
Choose personal for your private documents, a household, or a group of friends. Freelancers and the self-employed can use either type. A personal workspace keeps pay slips available, while a business workspace keeps the documents of the business apart from the rest of your life.
Since the data of every workspace is separate, many people use both: a personal workspace for private documents and a business workspace for each company.
Why can't I change the type?
The type decides how the data of the workspace is processed. For example, pay slips only exist in personal workspaces and employees only exist in business workspaces, so converting a workspace would leave data behind that the new type cannot handle. If you chose the wrong type, create a new workspace with the right type.
