What is a team?
A team is a group of folks who can own a flow, a step in a flow, and a bundle together. Examples of useful teams are Marketing, Approvers, Managers, etc.
Tips for a Team
- Owning a flow: Submitters can ask questions to the entire team instead of just one person. No bottlenecks!
- Owning a step: The team members can see incoming work and distribute it to those with capacity.
Teams are made up of owners and members. The following chart details what the two roles can do:
| Ability | Owners | Members |
|---|---|---|
| View & manage owners | Y | |
| View & manage members | Y | |
| View flows, bundles, third-party members | Y | |
| View members from the teams page | Y | Y |
| Will receive contact email from the submitter | Y | Y |
| Will receive notification of step due | Y | Y |

Team Member's view:
On the Teams page, members have a limited view. Members of a team can see:
- The owners of the team
- The members of the team
- Any steps that are currently due by the team but have not be assigned to anyone yet (under Unassigned)
- Ask Steps column: members can see any open steps owned by the team that have been assigned
- The number of flows owned by the team - members are not able to view the actual flows
Team members view:
As you can see in the video below, team members only have the ability to see steps owned by the team. Members can view unassigned steps and assign them to themselves.
