Subteams overview and FAQ

If your company has various sales teams, and you don’t want members of one team to see the other team's orders or be able to report on their sales numbers, you can set up different Subteams for each team. 

Note: You can also use Customer and User Groups to restrict brand user visibility. 

Overview

Subteams are assigned on the brand rep level and allow you to organize your sales reps into their selling divisions. Subteams also establish visibility control over who can see accounts and orders.

Example: If a Subteam includes 3 sales reps, then these 3 sales reps can only view each other's accounts and orders within their assigned Subteam.

You can set up as many Subteams as you like to fit your needs and for the amount of rep groups you have for your brand. Review the details in this article and watch the below video to learn about Subteams.

FAQ

Q: If a brand user is added to a new Subteam and View Subteam Orders is turned on, will that user's past orders pull in as a part of those Subteam orders, even though the Subteam was created after the order was placed?

A: No, as Subteams are assigned at the time the order is placed or edited. For example, if a sales rep is added to a new Subteam, they can only see the orders placed after the creation of that Subteam.
