# Teams

Our websites can display employee information in a number of ways:

  • via the Directory app on the left vertical menu of each website
  • via a people feed on a page

Employee data comes from the district's enterprise data system, Workday. This list of employees contains information such as name, position or title, and location. It is updated daily. Edits to this data must be performed by Human Resources.

The CommCenter allowss us to group employees into Teams, making it easier for visitors to understand how our school personnel are organized. For example, an employee's title may simply be 'teacher', but adding them to a Team called '1st Grade Teachers' provides additional clairty.

  • There is no limit to the number of Teams that can be created per school, however, consideration should be given to the number of Teams that can be navigaated by the visitor.
  • Teams will appear on the Directory app as soon as they are published.
  • Teams can appear on a page, however, the owner of the page must be set or a people feed must be added. The website will need to be republished for changes to take effect.

# Creating / Editing Teams

Teams may be created by using the 'Create Group' button at the bottom right. Teams may be edited simply by clicking on the Team itself.

There are two areas on the editing page:

  • Team details: optional - this information appears as a summary on pages where the owner has been set to this team (see the Pages section.)
  • People: required - add team members to the list by clicking just below 'Add Person'. A list of employees will be shown and can be narrowed by spelling the person's first or last name.

When finished, use the 'Publish' button at the lower right.
