Dynamic Team - Create

Dynamic teams can be comprised of hand-picked members, organizational units (OUs), or both. When a team is created, a Team Page is added to Connect, which enables all members of the team to view and manage team tasks. A team feed allows team members to share knowledge each other and stay informed on team member activities.

Use Case: In preparation for the annual client conference, several members of the Marketing department set up a team in order to work on a presentation. The team members share information on the Team Feed, and they create and manage the various tasks needed to deliver the presentation on the Team Tasks page.

To create a dynamic team, go to Admin > Tools > Connect > New Connect Administration > Dynamic Teams. Then, click the Create a Dynamic Team link.
