What is a 'Parent team'?
- A Parent Team is
A Parent Team is the team which sits directly above a team in the hierarchy.
For example, the Finance Department as a whole might be broken up into different parts / teams, e.g. Accounting, Financial Planning & Growth, Risk Management.
Each of those would be its own team, and the parent team for each of them would
be Financebe Finance.

Handy tips for organising users into Teams:

different teamsdifferent teams. There
is nois no limit to the number of
teams ateams a user can be in.

A user
can havecan have different
roles inroles in different teams.
For example, a user could be
the managerthe manager of one team, and a learner in another.
The Structure of Teams
Each level of the
company wouldcompany would be its own team.
But- not
But not every
team wouldteam would necessarily have people in.
For example, the Marketing
teamTeam might contain as learners all employees who worked within that team within that office.
But, for example, a team defined as a country or location (e.g. London Office, see example below) would not contain people, but instead would contain teams.
...
Breaking down the Teams even further:
Teams can be broken down as far as is needed.
In the example below, you can see that a user may be a
Marketermarketeer and working within the Marketing Team.
But that within the Marketing Team itself there are different departments.
A learner who is working in the Advertising department will by default be a part of the Marketing Team.
