Adding and setting up teams
Within a department, it is possible to create multiple teams. A team is a place where the employee is placed by default. You can manage in which teams an employee is placed from the Teams & permissions in the employee data.

Deleting teams
An existing team can be deleted by moving your mouse cursor over the team name and clicking on the Pencil icon. Then you will see a red button with a Trash can in the lower left corner, click on it to delete the team.
Flexpool
When you add or change a team you can choose the Flexpool type. With a flexpool you can deploy employees within multiple departments, without them being visible within these departments by default.
⚠️ Note: To create a flexpool at least one standard team needs to be present within the department.
You place the flex-employee in a flexpool via Teams & permissions in the departments where the employee can be deployed.
You can easily invite employees for an open shift or schedule them directly with the button + Add shift. Here you will immediately see all available employees and flexpool employees for the department.
