Create your workspace
Every company in Orbit has its own workspace on its own address, such as acme.your-orbit-domain. Sign-up is a short guided flow that asks one question at a time.
- 1Go to the sign-up page and enter your name, company and work email.
- 2Choose your workspace address. Orbit checks it is free as you type and reserves it.
- 3Tell us what kind of work you do and how you will use Orbit, so we can set up the right modules.
- 4Open the one-time link we email you and choose a password (or continue with Google).
Your first space
Orbit creates a first space for you, with board columns and labels that match the kind of work you picked. A space is where a team keeps its work, chat, documents and boards together.
- Add a work item straight from a board column.
- Drag cards between columns as the work moves.
- Open a card to add a description, checklist, files and comments.
Invite your team
Invite people by email or share an invitation link from Administration → Members. Invited people choose their own password and can be added to groups as they accept.
Where to go next
- Turn on sprints for a space to plan in iterations.
- Ask everyone to check in each morning so the team board shows who is around.
- Add your leads and deals to the CRM.
