In Pladia, a Venue serves as the central hub for your instance, while Spaces function as smaller hubs that showcase the works in your collection. Spaces can be likened to content zones within your Venue that house Objects. These Spaces can take the form of rooms, exhibits, or groupings of objects that you want to curate together within your institution.
When setting up your Pladia instance, you can utilize Spaces to specify where specific Objects are exhibited. Once you have established the foundational elements in the system such as Venues, Buildings, Levels, and Spaces, you can digitally position the Objects from your collection into designated Spaces to create Curated Experiences in Empower PWA.
If you are setting up your Venue using an IMDF file, there is no requirement to manually create Spaces within the platform. In this scenario, you can proceed directly to configuring Objects to seamlessly progress with your setup process.
