Create Departments

Departments are virtual “offices” where a group of people can discuss a specific topic. Teamly departments allow you to organize team communication. For example, you can create a Support, Sales, Engineering etc... department and add relevant users to them. Departments can be named in ways that make most sense to your organization. 

Select a project and click on the "+" icon next to "Departments."

Add the department name, description, select an icon color and set the visibility to public or private (STARTER and BUSINESS plans). Click on "Create."

Each Teamly workspace features a default "General" department that is public and inclusive of all users. Additionally, department names must be unique across the workspace.

To move a department from Public to Private or Private to Public (on a paid plan), right-click on the department in the left side panel and select "Edit." 


Toggle the public/private department setting.

Private departments have a lock icon and will also indicate if its private or public at the top right side of the department's name.

⚠️ Click on a department's name to drag/drop and sort.

Invite users to a private department by clicking on the department's name.

Click on "Edit details."

There you will see a list of existing users in the project or workspace that can be invited into the department.

⚠️ If you've reached your plan's department limit you will see the following message. Upgrade your account to add more departments.
