Hi, I read somewhere that each space can now have its own default route via the advanced settings page. However, i only appear to be able to see an advanced settings option under the kibana menu item for the Default space. My version number is 7.8.0  
When I click into other spaces, I do not have the menu item, Advanced Settings.  
I see the following notification when I go into Advanced Settings,  
The settings on this page apply to the **Default** space, unless otherwise specified.  
Am I missing something here ..?

Hi @Lambo1971,

Make sure you have the permissions to create a new space, then go to the Default one and you should be able to set custom URL identifier:

It should be available in [7.8](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.8/xpack-spaces.html)

Upd: As stated on that page, URL identifier cannot be changed for an existing space.

Regards, Dzmitry

Thanks @Dzmitry , but if I wanted someone to land on a dashboard when they open that space I can't do it via URL-Identifier can I. ..? Whereas I can by using Default Route under advanced settings for the default space ..?

I just played around and `Default Route` under Advanced Settings is applied only for the default space.  
So if you change it to `app/dashboard`, then selecting Default space on `/spaces/space_selector` will redirect you straight to dashboard.

However, for other spaces you will be navigated to Home as before. `URL-Identifier` is simply for custom space name in URL, but not to change the default route on opening space.

Hi @Dzmitry according to @joshdover it is possible but I can't find an individual Advanced Settings [age for each space ..?  
See here to previous discussion,

> [@Individual default route for different spaces](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/individual-default-route-for-different-spaces/214506):
>
> Hi, my understanding of the 7.5 release of Kibana is that I can set a different default route for each space. How can I do that? I only see that default route setting in the advanced settings and they only apply to my default Space. I would love to show different dashboards as default route depending on the user/space that is used. Thank you very much slight_smile

Hi @Lambo1971,

Josh is right, you can set it for custom space.  
As long as you have user permissions to access Stack Management and `Advanced Settings` are visible in your space, you can go to it and change those settings. They can be customised per space.

Sorry for confusion 🙂
