We thought we\u2019d keep things a little low-key, till we also introduced the ability to create Teams in Settings, which would probably make for even more fun and add flexibility for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>Departments<\/em> is not something that\u2019s obviously required in a field forces management app, but it\u2019s an important foundation block for managing teams spanning locations, functions, and roles &#8211; which came both from customers as well as our use of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fieldsense.in\/\">FieldSense<\/a>. (Yes, we use FieldSense for our own field AND non-field team operations). And this also allowed for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fieldsense.in\/customforms.html\">Custom Forms<\/a> to be assigned to groups of people, as opposed to everyone &#8211; which was also something that a lot of customers have pointed out, and we experienced too. After all, why should a sales team member have to wade through customer support forms in a list before reaching the ones s\/he needs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To make sure that the forms you\u2019ve already created don\u2019t break or stop working, they have been mapped to a dummy value \u2018To be assigned\u2019, to indicate that the value is yet to be entered. Likewise, for your staff &#8211; the department field will display \u2018To be assigned\u2019, letting you know that the individual is yet to be mapped. Your HR team is going to be pleased with this and some of the other super helpful Settings and functionality that we\u2019re working on, for instance <em>Teams<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Why <em>Departments<\/em> AND <em>Teams<\/em>? Let\u2019s look at our own example &#8211; HR requires all our sales staff to belong to a single logical department, namely Sales. But within Sales, people also need to be grouped by other bits of business logic &#8211; inside sales &amp; frontline sales, for example, based on nature of operations; region and branch based on location, and so on. Hence <em>Teams<\/em>, which let us map our people to South Sales, Inside Sales, South Support, North Customer Care, and so on. Individuals can belong to only ONE department (which is the HR rule), but can be mapped to multiple Teams based on the roles they\u2019re involved in.We\u2019ll introduce <em>Teams<\/em> in Settings sometime soon, again probably quietly, along with the ability to map <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fieldsense.in\/customforms.html\">Custom Forms<\/a> to <em>Teams<\/em> as well. And then a bunch of more stuff that sets the foundation for a really simple and convenient attendance and leave management workflow &#8211; which we know firsthand, is a source of major friction for field teams and the HR function.
