Teams Menu
With the help of teams, the users of a customer can easily manage the available resources apart from each other.
For example, a big company with many sites may be using different products at different prices, resulting in a wide variety of resources (e.g., pictures, videos, datasources, contents and screens). This amount of material can become overwhelming to manage. For better management purposes, you can now create teams and can assign resources to them.
You can make teams in the Settings/Teams menu.
When you first make teams, you need to select two global settings to your liking:
- Resources not assigned to team are available to everyone -> if turned off, only the owner can access the resources without teams.
- Users not in a team can access everything -> if turned off, these users cannot access anything.
Setting up teams
After clicking on the “Add new” button, you can add and manage several things:
- Name
- Comment
- Users
- Screens
- Loops
- Contents
- Schedules
- Files
- Messages
- Datasources
- Remove team
Note that a User can only see the resources assigned to his team, unless the Owner/Administrator turned on the “resources not assigned to team are available to everyone” option. Then, he will see the team’s resources and the unassigned resources too. He will not see other teams‘ resources.
You can assign resources to teams in additional places (i.e., not just in the Settings/Teams menu)
User:
- Settings/Users/Edit user
- Settings/Users -> Add new
Loop/content/schedule:
- Home/
- When adding new loop/content/schedule
Datasource:
- Settings/Datasources/Edit datasource
- Settings/ New database
Files:
- When uploading a new file in the file manager
- File manager/…/Edit teams
Useful facts
- Teams can’t be the member of another team, but a user can belong to multiple teams.
- Users with Owner or Administrator role can see and manage every team inside the customer.
- A content can contain resources that one team can see while the other don’t. The visibility doesn’t matter in the displayer, only the Editor.
- A content that belongs to a team can be inside a folder that not shared with the team.
