What is a department?

Departments are virtual “offices” where a group of people can discuss a specific topic. Teamly departments allows 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. 

Every time a message is posted inside a department, everyone in that department is able to read it.

In Teamly, you can create both public and private departments. With public departments any user in your workspace can view and join the department. Private departments are not available for all users since they will have to be invited into the department. We encourage all organizations to have at least one public department that includes all users for sharing announcements.

* We encourage public departments for shared knowledge.
* Set clear descriptions for the departments so that users know exactly what they're intended for.
* If a department is not being used we encourage you to archive it.
