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 assigned
    to a task
  • Available to be invited
    to do an approval (unless not identified as 'eligible')
  • Available to be mentioned
    in 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 assigned
    to a task
  • Not available to be invited
    to do an approval
  • Not available to be mentioned
    in a comment/reply
  • but they
    ARE available in the Share menu
    , to grant access & permissions
