Managing Teams

You can organize your users into Teams and easily filter on the Team in a report or assign the whole Team to a project or task. 

Users can be members of multiple Teams.

A Team can have a Team Manager. The Team Manager can report on all hours tracked by its team members, assign the Team to a project or task, add and remove members from the Team and (when configured) approve timesheets.

2. Click the Add Team button, or use the plus button on the lower left.

5. Optionally set a Team Manager.
   If configured by an Admin, the Team Manager can approve team members' hours.
6. Click the Save team button.

Teams without any team members can be deleted. Teams that are no longer needed but have team members can be archived.
