Manage Team chats

Each team member can create new channels and comment on the existing ones if they are participants. Within one firm can be created up to 500 channels.

By default, the  #general channel is already created for each firm. You can use it for firm-wide announcements or delete it . You can also create your own chats that are visible to all team members. 

Para crear un nuevo canal:

1. Navigate to Team chat from the sidebar menu.

2. Click Add channel and select Add new channel.

   

3. In the channel creation sidebar, fill in the following fields:

• Channel name. Name the channel briefly to reflect the main idea and confirm creation. The name should be unique: two or more channels cannot have the same name.
• Description. Describe a channel so its purpose is visible to anyone joining it.
• Visibility. Select Public or Private. If you create a public channel, anyone can join it from the channel list. If you create a private channel, only invited team members, firm owners and admins can see and join it. If team members leave a private channel, they won’t see its messages anymore, and they’ll need to be invited to rejoin. You won’t be able to change the channel visibility after you create it.
• Participants. Select team members to invite to the channel right away. You’ll also be able to do it any time later.

4. Click Create channel.

   Your channels are displayed in alphabetical order: A → Z.  Private chats are marked with the lock sign, pubic channels — with # sign.
