Article summary

Starting with a trial room is a great way to get hands-on experience with iObeya.  

A trial room allows to explore iObeya’s features, collaborate with your team, and see how the platform can help manage your projects effectively. You can easily adapt your workspace to your needs by creating and testing iObeya rooms free of charge for 30 days.

In this article, learn how to create a trial room to experience iObeya’s collaborative capabilities firsthand.

From your Home page, you can create a trial room:

GS - create trial room 1

  1. Click + Create a trial room.

  2. Give your room a clear name and description.

    Warning:

    This information is mandatory and allows your Platform administrator to understand the purpose of your room.

  3. You can start your room with a whiteboard or a pre-defined template.

    GS - trial room pop-up

    Recommendation:

    If you are used to working on a whiteboarding session, start your room with a whiteboard.

    Note:

    If you are a platform and domain adminitrator, you can preconfigure a trial room template to fit your main use cases : deploy standardized visual management boards and associated guidelines.

    See the Administration guide to find out more.

  4. Click Create.

    You trial room is created.

    GS - trial room 2(1)

    Note:

    Your trial room is displayed in the left-hand menu (My trial rooms) of the home page:

    GS - create trial room 2

  5. Configure and customize your trial room:

    1. Invite Team members: invite others to join your room and manage their permissions.

    2. Add boards to your room: in iObeya, you can add different boards to your room. These can represent various aspects of your project, such as a backlog, task board, or brainstorming area.

    3. Add visual elements to populate your boards.

    4. Start collaborating: use the different interaction modes and utilities in iObeya to collaborate effectively.

  6. Your room is available for 30 days by default. Use this opportunity to familiarize everyone with the tools and processes within iObeya.

  7. If your trial is successful, you can request your platform administrator to convert it into a permanent standard room. Contact him via the e-mail address he has defined at domain level.

    Warning:

    Your trial room does not need a license to be created. However, you do need an available license to convert it into a permanent standard room.

    See iObeya licensing to find out more.
