Different balances you'll see on your account

Workspace admins, or members who are given access to the Workspace > Manage Funds section, are able to see the total amount of funds within each Workspace, broken down by

  1. Each Workspace's Workspace Balance

  2. The total amount of funds allocated from the Workspace balance to each individual Workspace Member's Member Balance

  3. The total of the two combined

Total Workspace Balance + Total Member Balance = Total Available Funds.

Here's a breakdown of each of those terms:

Total Workspace Balance

The total Workspace Balance is what you see on the top right corner of the screen when you are on the Workspaces > Manage Funds page. This value is specific to the Workspace and currency selected from the header dropdown menus. This balance can be accessed by any Workspace Member who has been granted access to Workspace Funds.

Total Member Balance

The total Member Balance is the $ value allocated to individual members within each Workspace. Funds are taken out from the Workspace Balance and transferred into Member balances. The Member Balance can only be accessed by the Workspace Member who it was transferred too.

Total Available Funds

The total Available Funds in each Workspace is the Workspace Balance plus each member's Member Balance combined.

Example

Let's say Workspace X has the following balances:

Total Workspace Balance: $55

Total Member Balance: $0

Total Available Funds: $55

If the Workspace admin went to the the Member Balances page (Workspaces > Manage Funds > Member Balances), and transfers $55 to Workspace Member Alex's Member Balance, Alex would then have $55 in his Member Balance, and the Workspace Balance would drop to $0.

After the action described above, Workspace X's balances would now show:

Total Workspace Balance: $0

Total Member Balance: $55

Total Available Funds: $55

The Total Available Funds does not change because money was simply moved from Workspace Balance to a Member's Balance.

The Total Available Funds will only change if Alex uses their $55 budget to send out a gift, or if the Workspace admin moved the $55 out from Workspace X to another Workspace.
