AirSend Teams make it easier for members to keep track of their channels and to keep information sorted by project or application.
A team includes channels and team members who belong to any number of channels in the team. Any user can create a team and include other AirSend members in it. The user who creates the team is the owner, and can add channels and members to the team.
Channels can only belong to one team. Channels that are associated with one of your teams have a half circle icon that may be blue (the default color) or another color if the team owner or team manager changes it. Tabs for teams that you are a member of appear across the top of the AirSend screen.
Click a team tab to access the team's dashboard.
The team dashboard displays all of the team's channels, any announcements added by the team owner or team managers, statistics about the team, and a list of the channels that are public (that any member of the team may join).
- In the upper right of the AirSend screen, click New Team.
A Create New Team dialog box opens. - Enter a Team Name and click Create Team.
A new tab opens at the top of the screen for the team's dashboard. At this point the team does not have any channels. You are the owner and the only member of the team.
Adding and managing team channels
If there are existing channels that you want in the team, you can add them to the team. You can also add new channels to the team or copy existing channels.
- Click the tab for the team, and in the upper-right corner of the screen, click Manage Team.
The Team Settings dialog box opens. - In the left panel, click Channels, and then click Add channel.
When you click Add channel, a drop-down list that enables you to create a new channel or transfer existing channels opens.
Transfer channels lists only channels that are available for you to transfer into one of your teams: channels that you own that are not Direct Message channels. - Click the channel under Transfer channels that you want to add to the team.
The following notice appears. You must retype the name of the team into the field indicated to confirm that you want to attach the channel to the team, and then click Save.
The channel is now listed in the window:
And when you close the Team Settings dialog box, it appears in the dashboard for the team.
Attaching a channel to a team does not automatically add members of the channel to the team. Members outside the team continue to be able to access the channel through the All Channels tab, but do not see your team's tab unless you specifically add them as members.
- Click the tab for the team, and in the upper-right corner of the screen, click Manage Team.
The Team Settings dialog box opens. - In the left panel, click Channels.
- Click Add channel, and then choose Create New Channel in the menu.
The Create New Channel dialog box opens. - Enter a Channel name, and leave the current team selected in Add to Team.
- Click Create channel.
An Add Members dialog box opens. - Type any number of users' emails into Add people to the channel
AND/OR
Click Create Link to create a link that you can copy and send to users who you want to give access to the channel.

The channel is created and opens like any other channel that you create in AirSend:

Your new channel appears there and lists the number of members which includes you and the members you added when creating the channel.
