Workstatus allows you to create teams within your organization. The Teams feature makes assigning multiple users to a project easier. It also allows you to assign a Team Lead so that you can delegate common day-to-day tasks like creating schedules, setting up user roles and projects, as well as approving timesheets and time-offs.

Creating a new Team

Team leads manage the team and all the projects assigned to it. Their extra permissions include:

Approving Time Off requests
Schedules shifts

These permissions can be modified through the Team Leads tab on the Edit team dialog.

Choose the project/s for your new Team then hit Save button.

After completing the set-up, you’ll receive a popup that your new Team has been created:

Providing manager access to a specific team member

You can assign one or more users within an existing team as a Team Lead to have manager access. Users assigned as Team leads will be able to approve timesheets, time-offs, and create schedules for the team.

Project roles supersede Team Lead access. Team leads can only see the screenshots and activity of other team members if they are set up as project managers within assigned projects.

You can also toggle the Permissions settings to enable/disable the assigned Team Leads from being able to approve timesheets, time-off requests, and schedule shifts. You may also adjust notification settings for each permission.

Once you’re done, hit Save.
