Workspaces Documentation
Workspaces is a web application that allows for the collaboration between NEMA staff and members.

It allows you to upload documents, create tasks, plan and schedule meetings, discuss projects, and much more. Below you will find a quick walkthrough of Workspaces’ more prominent features.

Getting Started with Workspaces
On the left hand side of the workspaces window, all the sites that you have access to are displayed in the image below. If for some you do not see the workspaces site you need access to, then contact NEMA staff to get the proper access.
This may be due to the fact you are not in the nemalink2 list.
Clicking on the small plus button next to the site, expands it and shows the sections, committess, etc. (subsites) that you have access to:
Clicking on the Product Section, then takes you to the homepage for that section:
