Click here to see how to train up on agent and team assignment
You can create a team of agents if you want those agents to all be assigned to particular issues based on specific postcodes, properties or landlords.
To set up a team click on People > Teams. If there are no teams added yet it will show that you have 'No agent teams'. To add a new team, simply click on '+ Add new' on the top left hand corner of the screen.
When you click to add a new team you will be taken to the following screen. You will need to add a team name, the description is optional and please keep 'Is deleted/inactive' as 'No' to create an active team. Remember to press 'Save'.
Once you have pressed 'Save', the team will be created and you will remain in the same page but you will be able to add members to the team. You will be able to see that the team has no current members until these have been added. You will also see that a new tab will have been added called 'Issues assignments':
To add a team member you will need to begin typing an existing Agent's name or email address, select them from the drop down and then click 'Add':
Once you have your members added to the team you will want to assign properties, landlords or postcodes to the team. You can list either just the outcode (the beginning of the postcode, for example SW4) or the entire postcode which you would like to assign to this team.
To Assign Postcodes to Teams
Postcode assignments are added by clicking on the 'Issue assignments' tab and scrolling down to 'Postcode assignment'. Here you are able to add a list of postcodes which will be assigned to this particular team.
Entries should be separated either by a comma or added on separate lines. Once added, please press 'Save'.
As you add postcodes they will populate underneath the 'Save' button and the locations will be added by the system:
The postcodes will remain in the top box until you remove them:
Any issues which are reported against those postcodes will then be auto assigned to that team going forward.
To Remove Postcodes Assigned to a Team
If you no longer wish for a certain postcode to be assigned to a team you can easily remove this.
Click on People > Teams and click into the team which you are looking to remove a postcode assignment from. Once you are in the team you will want to click on the 'Issues assignments' tab and scroll down to 'Postcode assignment'.
You will find the postcodes listed here and to remove a postcode assignment, simply click on the delete icon on the right hand side of the postcode location:
That postcode will then be removed from the list and issues reported against properties at that postcode will no longer be automatically assigned to that team.
