# Workspace fields

> Create global data and doc fields once and reuse them across every project, so related information can be grouped, searched, and filtered workspace-wide.

<Info>
  Available on the [Enterprise plan](https://dovetail.com/pricing/)
</Info>

## Overview

**Workspace fields** are global. They pull together related information across a series of projects so it can be grouped, searched, and filtered together, rather than each project defining its own fields in isolation.

For fields scoped to a single project, see [Data and doc fields](/help/projects/data-and-docs-fields).

***

## Create workspace fields

**Managers** and **contributors** can create these groups in settings and link them to a template or individual projects.

* To do this, open [**⚙️ Settings → Workspace fields**](https://dovetail.com/settings/fields) and select `New field group`.
* From there, open either the `Data fields` or `Doc fields and` populate these.

**Managers** can create a new project template with a group of workspace fields linked so they populate automatically in any project created from the template.

## Edit workspace field groups

**Managers and contributors** can create new, edit, and use workspace field groups and individual fields.

* To do this, navigate to [**⚙️ Settings → Workspace fields**](https://dovetail.com/settings/fields), open the chosen field group and select `Edit` to update. Viewers cannot create or use workspace fields at all.
* To delete a single workspace field, go to [**⚙️ Settings → Workspace fields**](https://dovetail.com/settings/fields) and open your field group.
* From there, click on the group title and select `Move to trash`. Deleted workspace fields go to **workspace trash** where it can be restored for 30 days.

<Danger>
  Remember that workspace fields are live. Changes you make to workspace fields will be reflected immediately in all linked projects.

## Save values for select fields across projects

You can create pre-populated values for **single** or **multi-select** **workspace** **fields** for your connected project’s data and Docs.

* To do this, navigate to [**⚙️ Settings → Workspace fields**](https://dovetail.com/settings/fields) and next to the field you wish to add values to, select **Edit**.
* From there, type and enter values that can be selected when applying to your data across projects.

## Manage access to workspace field groups

When a manager or contributor has **Full access** to a workspace field group, they can restrict access of a workspace field group. For example, you may want to limit usage of a specific workspace field group to users from your Design or Research team.

* To do this, go to ⚙️ [**Settings → Workspace fields**](https://dovetail.com/settings/fields), click on your chosen field group and select `Share`.
* From there, you can update access to the group by changing the workspace’s access to **No access** and proceed to add specific individuals or individuals to have **Full**, **Edit** or **Can use access**.

***

## Delete a single workspace field from a group

* To delete a single workspace field from a group, navigate to [⚙️ Settings ](https://dovetail.com/settings/fields)**→**[ Workspace fields](https://dovetail.com/settings/fields) and open the group the field lives within.
* From there, locate the field, select `Edit` beside it and press `Move to trash`. Deleted workspace fields go to **workspace trash** where it can be restored for 30 days.
