Meta Teams

The Idea behind Meta Teams

For companies operating in multiple locations and with multiple local teams, meta teams are the key to effective fleet management. They are used to ensure that, depending on the location of the device, only those employees responsible for that region are notified of new tickets or video sessions.

Note

The Meta Teams functionality works only if devices are linked to customers!

What are Meta Teams?

Meta teams should be viewed as team "categories". Each meta team usually consists of multiple teams, each with the same tasks but responsible for different geographic areas. The special advantage of meta teams is that you can easily add them at the template level and then determine which team is responsible for each customer at the customer level.

Examples:

Meta Team ("Category")Team ("Locally Responsible")
Service TechniciansGermany
USA
France
Customer Service EmployeesNorth Germany
South Germany
Sales Representatives Berlin
Munich
Frankfurt

How it works

  • At the template level, meta teams are added to Fleet Management / Notifications groups, which in turn are linked to individual creation flows (picture)(picture).
  • At the customer level, it is determined for each customer which team of the meta team should be responsible (picture).

What are "Default Teams"?

For each meta team, you can select one team to be the "Default Team". This team will be used as the fallback for all the cases for which you haven't set up a customer team mapping yet (picture).

Warning

If you have not selected a default team, new tickets and video session requests may go unnoticed for devices without a customer team mapping, as no employees will be notified.

Tip

For each meta team, create a team called "Fallback" and select it as your default team (picture).

What is "Contact"?

For each team, you can select one team member to be highlighted as the primary contact. This is for informational purposes only and has no other functionality (picture).
