Working with Teams

Updated today

In large construction projects, it is often challenging to keep track of all participants – especially when multiple individuals from different companies are involved. With the Teams feature in docu tools, you can group Project Members with the same Role into Teams to manage Tasks more efficiently and improve collaboration on the construction site.

Teams offer two main advantages:

  1. Assign Tasks to an entire Team: Instead of assigning Tasks individually, you can address them directly to an entire Team. All Team Members automatically receive a notification and can complete the Task – ideal for replacements during vacations or absences. This ensures no Task is overlooked, and the workflow on the construction site is maintained.

  2. Joint viewing and editing of Pins: Members of a Team (with the Roles External viewer or Contributor) receive special rights:

  • External viewers see all Pins created by their Team Members.

  • Contributors can also Edit Pins created by other Team Members.

This feature applies exclusively to Pins created during Team membership. Pins created before joining or after leaving the Team are not visible or editable for the Team.

With Teams, you make collaboration in your docu tools Projects clearer, more flexible, and more responsive.

General

To open the Team List view, go to the Members section in the Project's side menu and then Click on the second tab Teams. In this view, all Teams created for the Project are visible. By default, the view only displays active Teams. To show inactive or all Teams, change the quick filters under the tabs.
