Overview

There are three paths to creating a team in Ibbaka Talent. You can create teams from:

• Your Ibbaka Talent Profile (where you will see all the teams in which you play a role)

• An existing Team page

• Your Company Page

There are two types of teams you can create:

Open Teams are ones where any member of your team will have rights to edit the team as needed. This includes adding team members and defining roles. Only people who have been added to the team will have this ability.

Managed Teams are ones where only the person who created the team, and select people they designate as managers, will have edit rights to the team.

This choice cannot be changed later, and you will be prompted to choose one of these when you create your team. An alternative to an Open Team is to add specific managers to your team whom you wish to have privileges to change the team. You can do this by clicking the settings cog on your team page, and selecting the menu under the Users tab.

Creating a Team from Your Ibbaka Talent Profile

To create a team from your Profile:

1. Click the Teams tab.

2. Click the big orange plus button.

3. Choose a name for your team.

4. Indicate your company name. If you are a part of more than one company, you’ll have the option to choose.
   
   If you do not specify a company name, you will have only two visibility options for your team - private, or public. If you do not assign your team to a company at the time of creation, you will not be able to do so later.
   

5. Choose a start date for your team. Only choose an end date if you expect this team to be a for a particular project with a targeted end date. If you don’t know the end date, leave this blank as you can change it later from your Team Page.

6. Select an active or inactive status for your team.
   
   Active teams are teams that are actively working toward their objectives, including teams that have no defined end to their mandate (e.g., a standing Product Management or HR Team). Active teams show up on the Company page 'Teams' tab with an orange vertical line to the left of the project record to signal they are active.

   Inactive Teams are teams that have achieved their purpose or mandate, those that have been indefinitely paused or put on hold in some way. These team records will have no orange line next to them on the Company Page. You can change the Active/Inactive flag in your team page settings after you create the team.
   

7. Select your team’s visibility. There are three options here.
   
   Private - Only you and your team members can see a private team. Note you cannot ‘Allow Requests’ for others to express interest in a team while a team is private.
   Company - Your team is visible to the whole organization (only available if you assign your team to a company, which is recommended).
   Public - If you are not in a private Ibbaka Talent environment, you can select ‘Public’ and people outside of your organization will be able to view the team with the link. If you are inside a private environment, do not select Public.

Create a Team from an existing Team Page:

1. Click the three-dots menu on the upper-right hand side of the page.

2. Choose ‘Create New Team’.

Create a Team from the Company Page

1. Navigate to your company’s page from your profile menu.

2. Click on the Team’s tab.

3. Click the orange plus button.

4. Follow the same steps above for creating a team from your Ibbaka Talent Profile.
