A Workspace is an independent sub-account within the Organization's account. Each Workspace has its own database, users, channels and settings, among others. This Module allows you to manage your Workspace Settings. From here, you can:

* Configure the [User Inactivity Timeout](/ismessenger/workspace-setting/users.md) period
* Connect the workspace to [Messaging Channels](/ismessenger/workspace-setting/channels.md) and [Integrations](/ismessenger/workspace-setting/integrations.md)
* Manage [Users](/ismessenger/workspace-setting/users.md) and [Teams](/ismessenger/workspace-setting/teams.md) within the workspace
* Manage [Custom Fields](/ismessenger/workspace-setting/contact-fields.md) 
* Set up [Away Messages](/ismessenger/modules/inbox/messages.md)
* Enable [Automatic Contact Assignment](/ismessenger/modules/contacts.md)
* Manage [Snippets](/ismessenger/workspace-setting/snippets.md) 
* Manage [Files](/ismessenger/workspace-setting/files.md)
