The Teams menu lets you create and manage Team collaboration.

Teams are lists of users who are joined together and set up as a single combined Collaborator.

For example, if you have 4 admins on your staff, you can create an Admin Team that includes all 4 of them.
Now, instead of adding the 4 admins individually to drawers, just add the Team, and they'll all have access.

If a new admin joins your office, add them to the Team from this menu, and they'll instantly have access to all the drawers that the Team has been added to.

On the other side, if someone leaves your office, or changes position, you can remove them from the Team using this menu, taking away their access to the Team's drawers.

Teams don't need to be internal - you could set up Teams of advisors who share a client base, or Teams of third-party professionals like lawyers or accountants, who need access to a group of clients.

Search/Filter

Use this field to search a particular Team, or filter to get a list of similar Teams, or all Teams managed under a particular owner.

Table Fields Configuration

Use this control to determine which fields are displayed in the chart, and their position in the row.

  • id: the permanent, unique system identifier for a Team

  • Team Name: the name you choose for the Team - this can be edited later, as needed

  • Brand Code: the brand that the Team is assigned to

  • Team Logo: the image or icon that you select for the Team (optional)

  • Owner Email: the email of the admin who created the Team in Console
