Group Types
From the beginning, Cohero has acknowledged 'Groups' and 'Members'. Groups were typically leveraged to gather different people together to represent a
team
. However, not all of these groups are meant to be assigned, mentioned, or even to be invited to an approval. For that reason, we've introduced 2 group types
: Teams and Departments. Teams
Teams represent groups of people that play an active role in getting work done. They act as a team, and carry joint responsibility to close on anything assigned to them. This means, teams are:
- Available to be assignedto a task
- Available to be invitedto do an approval (unless not identified as 'eligible')
- Available to be mentionedin a comment/reply
- Available in the Share Menu, to grant access & permissions
Departments
Departments represent groups of people that are united by some kind of organizational logic. It does not mean they operate together, or handle work together, but they're acknowledged as similar from an organizational perspective. This means, departments are:
- Not available to be assignedto a task
- Not available to be invitedto do an approval
- Not available to be mentionedin a comment/reply
- but they ARE available in the Share menu, to grant access & permissions
