Company designs

Company designs is where you run designs for the whole company: the people who run them, your brand kits and design templates, and the rules every room designs within. It has five sub-pages — Brand kits, Design templates, Room defaults, Brand locks and Sync between rooms — listed under Company designs in the menu while you are in the section.

Company owners, admins and design admins open Company designs. Owners and admins appoint design admins; design admins can also edit brand kits, publish templates and review proposals.

How to open Company designs​

  1. Open Company settings.
  2. Under Workplace, select Company designs.

How to add a design admin​

  1. Under Design admins, select Add a design admin.
  2. Pick a person.

Owners and admins appear as fixed chips marked Owner or Admin. To remove an appointed design admin, select × on their chip.

Company designs​

Turn on Company designs to give the company room its own designs too, apart from its design templates. Then select Open company designs for decks, posts and documents made for the whole company.

Brand kits​

Colours, fonts, logos and voice every room designs with. Publish a kit to make it the kit of the rooms in its audience.

  1. Under Brand kits and design templates, select Brand kits (or select it in the menu).
  2. Create a brand kit or open one to edit it in the brand kit studio.
  3. Publish it to its audience: Whole company, Departments or Rooms.

Design templates​

Templates your company published. Rooms in the audience start designs from them and use their pages as layouts.

  1. Select Design templates.
  2. Select Build a template with agent and describe it — the agent makes the template and publishes it to your company. You can also publish any design from its Share menu: Publish to… › Template.

The page then groups your templates:

  • Requests — designs rooms have proposed as templates from their Share menu. Select Review, Accept or Decline.
  • Drafts — templates the agent builds, and designs in your knowledge bases, wait here until you select Publish.
  • Published — the live library. Select Edit, Change audience or Unpublish. Designs already made from an unpublished template keep their content.
  • Qik templates — Qik's own presentation and design templates. Switch off the ones your company should not see; rooms and the agent leave them out.
  • Department templates — set each department to Publishes its own templates or Uses company templates only.
note

Templates are kept in the company knowledge base, so turn on Company knowledge bases first.
