Teams

The "Teams" functionality allows you to group your employees into distinct teams, making it easier to filter and manage information throughout Simple Leave.

Overview​

Organising employees into teams provides several benefits:

  • Filtered views: Quickly filter leave requests, calendars, and reports by team
  • Controlled visibility: Restrict what employees can see based on their team membership
  • Flexible membership: Employees can belong to multiple teams simultaneously
tip

Assigning employees to multiple teams is useful for managers overseeing multiple departments or employees who work across different teams.

Team-Only Visibility​

It is possible to configure simple leave with Team-only visibility which controls what information employees can see about each other.

When Team-Only Visibility is Enabled​

Employees will only see leave information for people in their own team(s) throughout the system, including:

  • Calendar views
  • Who's got upcoming leave
  • Team member availability

This setting works alongside each policy's public/private visibility to give you granular control over information sharing.

When Team-Only Visibility is Disabled​

Employees can see leave information for all users across the organisation (subject to policy visibility settings). Employees will see a Team called "Everyone" which will have all individuals within the company in it.

note

By default Team-Only Visibility is disabled so it needs to be explicitly enabled from the Teams page.

Calendar Integration​

The Calendar page reflects team settings:

  • Filter the calendar by any team you have access to
  • Switch between team views to check availability

Administrator Access​

Administrators have special privileges when it comes to teams:

  • Can see all teams regardless of membership
  • Can manage team settings and membership for the entire organisation

Managing Teams​

Managing teams is simple and intuitive.

  1. Click on the Teams link in the left hand navigation pane.
  2. From here you can Create a New Team, Rename a Team, Delete a Team, Add / Delete members from the team.
