Manage Teams: Teams Column

A Team is a way to organize users into easily manageable workgroups and attribute them to a particular Production or Folder.

For example, you could group your Contacts into role-based Teams like Producers, Executive Producers, Art Department, or you could group them by security permissions like Viewers, Downloaders and Administrators. You can do a combination of those, or any other system that suits you and the workflow of the production.

Teams that are added to a Production will automatically be added to any Folders inside the Production. And when Teams are removed from a Production, they are also automatically removed from all Folders within the Production.

There are two types of Teams, with varying scope:

  • Company Teams - These operate on an overarching company level. Whenever a new Production is created, they are applied automatically.
  • Production Teams - These are limited to the Production you are working in, and are not visible in any new Productions created within your current company.

Adding a New Team

At the bottom of the Teams column are 3 buttons related to making a New Team, Editing an existing Team, and Assigning a Team to Productions or Folders.

When creating a New Team, you can choose whether it will be exist at the Company or Production level, what the default permission level for it is, as well as a specific color.

The default permission can be set to any of the options available to you within Flow Capture:

You can edit this information at any time after creating a team by selecting it, clicking the Edit Team button, making the changes you need and then saving.

Assigning Contacts to a Team

In the Contacts column, highlight the appropriate Contact, then click the circled  + on the Team you want them to be a part of. This will add the Contact to the Team and move the Team tag up to the Joined Team section of the column

That Team's color tag will now appear in the bottom left corner of the user's Contact card as a Team button. Hovering over any of those small, colored dots will identify the name of the Team.

User Permissions within Teams

Highlighting both a Contact and a Team in the Joined Team section will activate a small Contact Details panel towards the bottom of the Teams column.

This panel allows you to set the Role and the Permission level of the selected Contact in relation to the selected Team.

Assigning a Team

To add a team to a Production or Folder, select the desired Team to and the Production or Folder that you want to add the Team to, then click the Assign Team button at the bottom of the Teams column. That Team will be shown in the Currently Added Teams section at the bottom of the Participants column - click any of those to get a summary of who's on the Team.

Import CSV

If we want to quickly add multiple users to a team at once we can do so with the [IMPORT CSV] button. All users within the CSV will be assigned to the selected/highlighted team. If a user is already appears in Manage Teams: The Contacts Column or is already assigned to folders these records will be merged - don't worry, they will not have an additional account created. 

Using this method we will need to export an individual CSV file per team that needs Importing.

Requirements:

  • csv format
  • Columns reading "First Name,Last Name,Email"
