# Teams

> Modern teams are at the heart of All Quiet

Teams are a means of organizing **collaborators** (team members) and **integrations**.

* Each user can be a member of multiple teams.
* Each integration is connected to exactly one (root) team.
* Each incident triggered by an integration is thus per default available for collaboration to the members of the integration's team. Within [Organizations](/advanced/organizations), collaboration across multiple teams is possible.

## Create a team

<Info>New Teams can be created by Users who signed up without being invited, as well as Billable Users, *Organization Administrators* and *Organization Owners*.<br />This documentation explains team creation without an Organization. Check out our doc for [Organizations](/advanced/organizations#creating-a-new-team-in-your-organization) to learn more about the team creation within an Organization.</Info>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Step 1">
    Under `Teams` click `Create Team`.

    <img className="createTeam1" src="https://mintcdn.com/allquiet/P8t56GT-09l8Ew6U/images/teams/create-team-1.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=P8t56GT-09l8Ew6U&q=85&s=8e855583547c7965e5c540a4494ee548" width="2728" height="492" data-path="images/teams/create-team-1.png" />
  </Step>

  <Step title="Step 2">
    1. Enter a `Diplay Name` for your team.
    2. Optionally, you can enter a timezone. Per default, we select your browser's timezone.
    3. For Pro and Enterprise plans: Select the [Organization](/advanced/organizations) you want to add the team to, or select "No organization".
    4. Decide if you want to be included in the standard escalation policy.
    5. Optionally, you can add `Labels`. This is handy if you want to organizae your teams into categories, e.g. departments or business units. You can use the labels to filter [incidents](/essentials/incident#filtering-incidents), integrations and your [team overview](/essentials/teams#team-overview).
    6. Hit `Create Team`. You can later change these settings.

    <img className="createTeam2" src="https://mintcdn.com/allquiet/P8t56GT-09l8Ew6U/images/teams/create-team-2.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=P8t56GT-09l8Ew6U&q=85&s=a7db1f95c7f69f059d77bacffbb1c767" width="2134" height="1282" data-path="images/teams/create-team-2.png" />
  </Step>
</Steps>

After creating your team, you’ll have several options to manage it. Let’s explore them below.

<img className="Team_Tabs" src="https://mintcdn.com/allquiet/P8t56GT-09l8Ew6U/images/teams/team-tabs.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=P8t56GT-09l8Ew6U&q=85&s=4438ebd1a8045be831120ef34b18c44b" width="2180" height="624" data-path="images/teams/team-tabs.png" />

## Edit Team

1. In the `Edit` tab, you can configure the general settings for your team.
2. This includes your team's `Display Name`
3. Adjust your team's `Timezone`. The timezone is used for your teams calendar, schedules and escalations. Per default, it's UTC.
4. For Pro and Enterprise plans: Select the [Organization](/advanced/organizations) you want to add the team to, or select "No organization".
5. You can add or remove `Labels`. This is handy if you want to organize your teams into categories, e.g. departments or business units. They are combined with [inbound integration labels](/essentials/inbound#edit-your-integration’s-general-settings) when [filtering incidents](/essentials/incident#filtering-incidents). You can also the team labels to filter integrations and your [team overview](/essentials/teams#team-overview).
6. Schedule delivery of your team' weekly [Engagement Report](/advanced/report#engagement-report).
7. You can edit the billable user of your team. If your team is part of an [organization](/advanced/organizations), this field will not be available, as the team will be billed through the organization's billable user.
8. Make sure to `Save` your changes.

## Members

### Roles

A user has one of the following roles within a team:

* `Member`: A member can collaborate on all incidents, view the team calendar, get an engagement report and create their own personal overrides.
* `Administrator`: An admin can additionally set up the escalation schedules, create overrides for the whole team and create and manage all of the team's integrations plus the respective advanced routing in the team. Also, they can manage the team's users and, [if applicable, the billable user](miscellaneous/billing#how-to-change-the-billable-user).

### Inviting Members

After setting up your team, you're instantly assigned the `Administrator` role and become the primary account holder for billing purposes. Refer to our [Billing](/miscellaneous/billing) section for more details.

Inviting colleagues is straightforward:

* Simply send them an invite via email.
* They'll need to sign up and accept your invitation to collaborate.

This process ensures a secure and efficient team collaboration setup.

## Maintenance Mode

The maintenance mode feature for teams allows for the management of incident alerts during times of scheduled maintenance or expected downtime. It is accessible through the `Team > Maintenance` page in the All Quiet Web App.

You can either

1. Create new maintenance window.
2. Edit planned maintenances.

<img className="Maintenance_Overview" src="https://mintcdn.com/allquiet/P8t56GT-09l8Ew6U/images/teams/maintenance-01.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=P8t56GT-09l8Ew6U&q=85&s=7fdcf6d8364dbcdb24c8fee7bf0b4632" width="2150" height="632" data-path="images/teams/maintenance-01.png" />

The maintenance schedule, once created, is also visible in the team's calendar, offering insight into planned maintenance or downtime.

When creating a new maintenance window, you can configure the following elements:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Quick Actions">
    Use these to quickly populate the start and end times with predetermined durations ranging from 30 minutes to 8 hours.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start Date and Time">
    Specify the start date and time for the maintenance window according to the team's timezone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="End Date and Time">
    Specify the end date and time to mark the conclusion of the maintenance window.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Type">
    Choose between two types of maintenance modes:

    <ul>
      <li><strong>Maintenance:</strong> Selecting this option will prevent the creation of new incidents during the scheduled period.</li>
      <li><strong>Muted:</strong> This option allows incidents to be created without sending out any notifications during the period.</li>
    </ul>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create">
    Clicking the `Create` button will confirm and activate the maintenance schedule. It will also be displayed in the team's calendar.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Calendar

To learn more about **team calendars**, follow this [link](/essentials/escalations#team-calendar).

## Incident Report

To learn more about your Incident KPIs, check our your [Team's Incident Report](/advanced/report#incident-report).
You can also find the [Engagement Report](/advanced/report#engagement-report) on this tab.

## Team Overview

The team overview show all the teams you have a [team role](/essentials/teams#roles) in or, if you're a billable user, that are biiled by you.
For users wit [organization roles](/advanced/organizations#key-features-of-organizations), it also shows teams of your organization that you don't have an explicit role in.

Therefore, filtering this view via team labels or team names can be handy for people with a higher number of teams.
