Set up team types

Example

You want to create teams of people who can process collection items. You already have two teams created: Team1 and Team2. Both teams are assigned to the Collections team type. Both employees and contractors can be members of teams with a team type of Collections. You want Team1 to allow only employees to be members, but you want Team2 to allow both employees and contractors to be members. To accomplish this, complete the followings steps:

  1. Use the Team types form to create a new team type titled Collections-EmployeesOnly.

  2. In the Restrict membership to include section, select only the Worker option, but do not select Contractor, Contacts, Vendor, and Customer.

  3. Next, use the Teams form to change the team type of Team1 to be Collections-EmployeesOnly.

Team1 membership is now restricted to employees only, and Team2 still allows both employees and contractors to be members.

The following table provides descriptions for the controls in this form.
