Spaces in ORIA Reasoner

Spaces in ORIA Reasoner

A Space keeps one piece of work together. It provides a consistent starting point with its own standing instructions and reference documents.

Purpose: Avoids re-explaining the context in every session. All sessions created within a Space inherit its instructions and support files.

Create one using the + sign next to Spaces in the left panel.

Space Fields

FieldPurpose
Space nameThe name that will appear in the spaces list (e.g., Q4 proposals).
What is it for?Optional description displayed in the spaces list.
Standing instructionsPermanent instructions added to every session opened in this space. Defines how Oria operates (e.g., "Always reconcile to the general ledger. Report in USD.").
Reference filesShared documents upon which the work is built. Uploaded only once, and all sessions in the space (including existing ones) can access them.

Space Rules

  • Standing instructions do not expand scope: Instructions modify Oria's behavior, but they cannot expand the data or tools a session can use.
  • Retroactive files: Documents added to a Space are immediately visible to past and future sessions within that space.
