For this training, you will want to focus your attention on **Teams**.

**Teams** is located on the left column of the Dashboard platform and serves a variety of functions but is primarily used for assigning modules or trainings to users.

By utilizing **Teams** , you are able to purposefully assign users specific modules and organize those users by categories specific to your organization.

Once your team is created, you will be able click on that team and access the performance data from the users on that team including the last time they logged in, whether or not they have started a training, and the completion status of the modules they have been assigned. 

Similarly, when you click on your team and then head to the **Modules** tab, you will be able to see each module or training that is assigned to that team.

**It is important to note, that a user will not be able to access a training if they are not assigned to a team where that training is also assigned.**

**It is also important to note, that one user can be assigned to multiple teams** in order to access a variety of trainings. Admins will want to be aware of this however, in order to effectively access data.

Once your teams have been created, they will show up in the Teams section of Dashboard along with the number of modules and users assigned to the team and the completion percentage and average scores of the users. 

When inside **Teams,** , clink the **\+Create Team** button.

From there, create a team name. You can create teams based on location, quarter, department, or skillset to name a few. 

Select a team manager. The individual chosen as the team manager should be someone whose user account is set to either the **Super-Admin, Admin,**  or **Manager** role.

A user account with the role of **Manager** will be able to see the performance data of the users of their teams whereas an account with the role of **Super-Admin** will be able to add modules and users to teams.

Be sure to keep that in mind when selecting a team manager.
