Create a new team
With Create at the top right of the Seamless app, you create a new workspace, meaning a team in Microsoft Teams or a SharePoint site. Under Create workspace, Seamless guides you through five steps. Use Next and Back to move between the steps, and the cross at the top left to cancel.
As an example, we create the team 260215.001 - Project Atlas in the organisation Contoso with the template Project.
Your IT decides who sees which organisations and templates. You only see what has been made available to you.
Choose a template
Under Choose a template, first choose the Organisation. You then see the templates available to you, for example Project or Internal. If there is only one organisation, it is already selected.
For each template you see:
| Element | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Description | What the template is for |
| Icons | What is created, for example a SharePoint site and a team, plus visibility and guest access |
| Requires approval | Your request is reviewed first before the team is created |
Click the template that fits.
Give a name
Under Give a name, enter the Name and, depending on the template, further details, for example a project code or the customer. The hint below each field shows what to enter.
| Element | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Preview | How the team will appear, for example 260215.001 - Project Atlas. Your IT decides how the name is built from your details. |
| Mail nickname | The part of the email address before the @ |
Assign responsibility
Under Assign responsibility, the Responsible person (primary contact) is already filled in, namely you. If you are creating the team for someone else, change the person. If needed, choose a Deputy. You can change both later.
Manage team access
Under Manage team access, use Search to add users to add more people and choose their role, Owner or Member.
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Responsible | The responsible person, always an owner |
| Deputy | The deputy |
| Required by template | The template adds this person automatically. They can't be removed here. |
Review and submit
Under Review and submit, you see the team and all owners once more. Click Send.
If the team needs approval, Seamless shows here under Approval required by who reviews your request.
What happens next
| Template | What happens |
|---|---|
| With approval | Your request goes to the approvers. After approval, Seamless creates the team. |
| Without approval | Seamless creates the team immediately. |
Depending on the template, creation takes one to several minutes. You then find the team under Find workspaces and in Microsoft Teams.
