Set up teams
Set up teams
Teams let's you group people together at a site so they can receive work, handle approvals, and collaborate. For example, you might create a "Facilities" team to manage tickets or a "Front Desk" team for visitor approvals.
Before you start
- You need to be a site administrator at the site where you want to create the team.
- Navigate to the site first using the site selector if you manage more than one site.
Create a team
- Open the Teams page from the left-hand menu under Site Configuration.
- Click Create Team.
- Enter a name for the team (for example, "ACME Facilities") and an optional description.
- Leave the Shared toggle off for now. You can share the team with other organisations later once you are happy with the setup.
- Save the team. You are automatically added as the first member with the lead role.
Add members to a team
- Open the team you just created and click Add Member.
- Search for a person by name or email and select them. They are added with the default member role.
- Promote someone to lead if they need to manage the team alongside you. Leads can add and remove members and change team settings.
Set member permissions
- Click a member's row to see their permission options.
- Toggle Can comment externally on if the member needs to reply to reporters on tickets. Leads have this permission by default.
Share a team with another organisation
Sharing makes your team visible to the site owner (or landlord), so they can route work to your team when needed.
- Open the team detail page.
- Toggle the Shared switch on.
- The team is now visible to other organisations at this site. They can see it and route work to it, but they cannot edit it -- only you can manage your own team.
Things to keep in mind
Situation | What happens |
|---|---|
Team name already taken | Team names must be unique at each site. Choose a different name. |
Removing the last lead | Not allowed. Every team must have at least one lead. Promote another member first. |
Deleting a team used for booking approvals | The team cannot be deleted while it is linked to a booking approval rule. Update the approval rule first. |
Non-lead members | They can see the team and its members, but cannot add or remove people or change settings. |
