briefcase-blankOrganizations and Workspaces

Organization

An Organization is the top-level container for your account.

  • When you sign up, you get your own Organization by default.

  • This ensures data isolation so your work stays separated from other users and organizations.


Workspace

A Workspace is an isolated space where your testing data lives, including:

  • test executions (runs)

  • reports and results

  • execution history

  • run artifacts (like videos, where supported)

Workspaces help you keep testing data organized across different apps, environments, or teams.


Default starter workspace

When you sign up, ratl.ai Studio automatically creates a starter workspace for you so you can begin running tests immediately.

You can continue using it, or create additional workspaces as needed.


Creating a workspace

You can create a workspace from either of these places:

Option 1: From Settings

  1. Open Settings

  2. Go to the Workspaces section

  3. Click the Add New button

  4. Enter a workspace name (follow naming rules below)

  5. Create the workspace and switch to the new workspace if needed

Option 2: From the Sidebar

  1. Open the Sidebar

  2. Find the Workspace section / switcher at the top of the sidebar below the logo

  3. Click on it to expand the dropdown

  4. Click Create Workspace

  5. Enter a workspace name (follow naming rules below)

  6. Create the workspace and switch to the new workspace if needed


Workspace naming rules

Workspace names must follow these rules:

1) Workspace name must be unique

Your workspace name must be unique.

If your preferred name is taken, add a clear suffix like:

  • myapp-staging

  • myapp-qa

  • myapp-2026

2) No special characters

Workspace names must not contain special characters like:

  • @ # $

To keep naming predictable, avoid symbols in general.

3) Only hyphens are allowed as separators

If your workspace name has multiple words, use hyphens (-).

✅ Valid examples:

  • acme-web

  • acme-checkout

  • web-tests-staging

  • ratl-studio-demo

❌ Invalid examples:

  • acme@web

  • acme#checkout

  • acme$prod

  • acme_web


To keep things clean as your execution history grows, most teams create workspaces by:

By environment

  • myapp-dev

  • myapp-staging

  • myapp-prod

By product area

  • myapp-auth

  • myapp-checkout

  • myapp-search

Choose a pattern early and stay consistent — workspace naming becomes hard to clean up once lots of runs are stored.


Where can I access my workspaces?

You can always find workspaces from:

  • Settings → Workspaces

  • the Sidebar workspace switcher


Summary

  • Your account includes an Organization to keep data isolated.

  • A Workspace is an isolated space where your test execution data is stored.

  • A starter workspace is created automatically when you sign up.

  • You can create new workspaces from Settings or the Sidebar.

  • Workspace names must be unique, contain no special characters, and use hyphens only.
