      Navigating Your Workspace

      Learn how to access, navigate, and manage your applications and core resources within the Rayven Workspace.

      Overview

      The Rayven Workspace is the central hub for building and configuring your applications. From the moment you log in, you can start a new project or dive into existing ones, then easily navigate between the core areas for data storage, automation logic, front-end design, and user management.

      Accessing the Workspace

      To access the Rayven Workspace:

      1. Open your browser and go to https://workspace.rayven.io

      2. Sign in using your Workspace User credentials

      Workspace Home Page

      After logging in, you’ll arrive at the Workspace home page. From here, you can start a new application or open an existing one.

      You’ll see two options for creating a new app:

      • Start with AI Blueprint
        Generate a basic application structure—tables, workflows, and interfaces—based on a short written description.

      • Start Building Now
        Begin with a blank application and configure everything manually.

      Below these options is the My Apps list. This shows all applications you have access to, along with their names, descriptions, and last activity dates. You can open an existing application or click New Application to create another one.

      Application Page (Dashboard)

      Once inside an application, you’ll land on the Application Page. This screen provides direct access to the four core components of your app—Tables, Workflows, Interfaces, and Users—and is designed to help you get started quickly or return to where you left off.

      Each section displays a count of existing items and a short explanation of its purpose. You can click into any area to begin configuring or managing that part of your application:

      • Tables – Create and manage structured data, including Primary and Secondary Tables, UID configuration, labels, and data import options.

      • Workflows – Design automations and logic using Rayven’s Workflow Builder, including connectors, rules, and data processing nodes.

      • Interfaces – Build user-facing screens by selecting frontend nodes, defining layouts, and setting up interactive dashboards or forms.

      • Users – Manage User Groups and Application Users, and control access to data and interfaces using filters and labels.

      Whether you’re just getting started or continuing a build, this page is your central point for navigating and developing your application.

      Core Application Sections in the Workspace

      Once you open or create an application, you can jump into each of the core application elements. Here’s what each does:

      Tables

      The Tables section is where you define and manage the structured data your application will use. Tables are divided into two types:

      • Primary Tables contain your core records (e.g., customers, assets) and must include a Unique Identifier (UID) column. These records typically represent the main entities your application operates on.

      • Secondary Tables store related or supporting data (e.g., logs, transactions, reference values) that are linked to Primary Tables via labels or UIDs.

      You can configure each table’s columns, data types, key fields, and labels. Labels allow you to categorise and filter records, and are also used for setting access rules based on user groups. You can also perform actions such as importing data, duplicating tables, and linking records between tables.

      Use this section to define the data model for your application. 


      Workflows

      The Workflows section displays a list of all workflows that have been created within your application. From here, you can:

      • Create new workflows

      • View the status and type of existing workflows

      • Open a workflow to edit it using the Workflow Builder

      The Workflow Builder is where you define logic and automation using Rayven’s node-based system. This may include connecting to external systems, transforming and routing data, evaluating rules, or triggering interface updates. You can build end-to-end data flows, integration pipelines, and decision-making processes using drag-and-drop tools or advanced scripting.

      Use this section to manage the automation and logic layer of your application.


      Interfaces

      The Interfaces section is where you configure the front-end experience for your Application Users. Each interface represents a page in your application, and can be assigned to specific user groups based on access requirements.

      There are two types of interfaces you can create:

      • Standard Interfaces, used for dashboards, forms, and general-purpose pages

      • Analytics Interfaces, which include time-series filters and are ideal for reporting or diagnostic views

      Within each interface, you can add and arrange widgets that visualise data, capture input, or trigger workflows. Widgets are powered by Frontend Nodes created in workflows. You define the page structure and layout here, but styling and filter settings can also be adjusted by users with interface permissions in the live application.

      Use this section to design the way users interact with your application.

      Users

      The Users section lets you manage who can access your application and what they can see or do within it. It includes two key elements:

      • Application Users, who access your app’s front end at https://app.rayven.io

      • User Groups, which define access rules by grouping users with similar roles or permissions

      User Groups determine which interfaces a user can access and what subset of data they can view. This is typically controlled using table labels, allowing you to apply row-level filtering based on group membership.

      From this section, you can create new users, assign them to groups, and configure group-level access to interfaces and labelled data.

      Use this section to control user access and visibility across your application.


      Summary

      The Rayven Workspace provides a structured environment for creating, configuring, and managing your applications. From the Workspace home page, you can start new applications or open existing ones. Once inside an application, the Application Page gives you direct access to the four key areas:

      • Tables, where you define your application’s data model

      • Workflows, where you build logic and automations

      • Interfaces, where you create user-facing screens

      • Users, where you manage access and permissions

      Each section plays a distinct role in the app-building process. Whether you're starting from scratch or continuing development, the Workspace is where all configuration takes place.=

      FAQs

      How do I access the Rayven Workspace?
      Go to https://workspace.rayven.io and sign in with your Workspace User credentials.

      What’s the difference between a Workspace User and an Application User?
      Workspace Users have access to the app-building tools within the Rayven Workspace. Application Users only access the front-end interfaces of published applications.

      Do I have to use all four sections of the application?
      No. While most applications will use all four, Rayven supports data-only or workflow-only applications, including those with no interfaces or user access.

      Can I use AI to generate my application setup?
      Yes. From the Workspace home page, you can use AI Blueprint to generate a basic application structure based on a description you provide.

      Where do Application Users log in?
      Application Users access your published app interfaces via https://app.rayven.io.

      Can I switch between applications?
      Yes. Click the Rayven logo or Home icon to return to the My Apps page, where you can open another application.
