Teams per Department

Continuous Improvement

Teams per Workstation

Line 1
Line 2
Workstation A
Workstation B

Teams per Machine

Palletizer
Brake Press

📚 For SwipeGuide: The roles assigned to users in a team dictate who can create, edit, share, and publish Guides across Workspaces.

One team can publish content on multiple workspaces
One workspace can have published content from multiple teams

Team Hierarchy

You can create a Team Hierarchy by using Sub-Teams. This allows you to match the team structure to that of your organizational structure.

When creating or editing a team: You can decide to have the team 'belong' to another team. This will create a sub-team that is grouped under an already existing team.

💡 Note the following Permissions:

Only Platform Admins can create new teams
You must be an Admin of a team to edit it
In the dropdown list under 'Belongs to team', you will only be able to select other teams you are an Admin of

The new team 'Amsterdam Quality Control - Line 14' is now a sub-team under the team 'Amsterdam Quality Control'
