Use the Manage Teams area to add, edit, and remove teams within Eventflow. Teams help organise your users into groups for clearer communication, content visibility, and task assignment.

Adding a Team

Use the Add Team page to create a new team within Eventflow. Teams form the backbone of your platform and are a fundamental first step when setting up your Eventflow workspace. They help you manage user groups, assign tasks, control access to content, and ensure that everything in your event runs smoothly.

As the event organiser, you’ll be responsible for adding your teams using the steps outlined below. This is a critical foundation—without teams, the rest of the system can't function as intended.

Once team members are added, Eventflow automatically triggers branded welcome emails to invite them to join. This enables them to access the platform, collaborate effectively, and engage with assigned content and tasks.

Well-structured teams also allow you to:

  • Assign relevant tasks to the right people.

  • Ring-fence content so it’s only visible to the applicable users.

  • Track task completion and identify what’s still outstanding.

  • Run detailed reports to monitor progress and engagement.

Add Team page

Use the Add Team page to create a new team within Eventflow. Teams help you manage user groups, assign tasks, and control access to content across your event manual.

Step-by-Step: How to Add a Team

  1. From the admin dashboard, go to Manage Teams.

  2. Click the Add Team button in the top right-hand corner.

  3. Fill out the required team information:

    • Team Name: Enter a clear and descriptive name for the team (e.g. “Exhibitor Support”, “AV Team”, or “Operations”).

    • Team Type: Choose the type of team from the dropdown menu. This helps categorise your teams for easier management.

    • Is Organiser: Select Yes or No to specify whether this team should act as an event organiser. Organiser teams often have broader access and management permissions.

    • Team Owner: Enter the first name, last name, and email address of the team owner. This person will be responsible for managing the team and inviting its members.

  4. Once all fields are completed, click Submit to save the team.

  5. If you change your mind, click Cancel to discard the changes.

Tip: Choose a team owner who is familiar with your processes—they’ll be the main point of contact for managing that team’s users and responsibilities.

Team Types: Structuring Access and Relevance

When setting up or editing a team in Eventflow, selecting a Team Type is an important step that goes beyond categorisation. Team Types are a powerful tool used to define the nature and function of a team within your event. They help you organise users logically—such as “Exhibitor,” “Sponsor,” “Contractor,” or “Organiser”—making it easier to manage large numbers of teams efficiently.

More importantly, Team Types play a central role in controlling access to content. Within the content builder, you’ll have the ability to show or hide specific sections of content based on a team’s type. This ensures that each team only sees what’s relevant to them—helping prevent confusion, keeping the user experience streamlined, and safeguarding sensitive or unnecessary information from the wrong audiences.

By using Team Types strategically, you can:

  • Automatically filter visibility of content throughout the manual.

  • Deliver a personalised experience for each team based on their role at the event.

  • Ensure that communications and tasks are tailored to the right audience.

  • Improve clarity and navigation for users engaging with the platform.

Choosing the correct Team Type at setup helps maintain structure and relevance throughout the entire lifecycle of your event inside Eventflow.

Editing a Team

Once a team has been created, you may need to update its details or manage the individuals within it. The View Team page allows you to see and edit team information, manage members, and send new invites.

Here’s what you can do:

Team Settings

Click Add Team Member to invite new users to the team. You’ll enter their email address, and they’ll receive an invitation to join the platform. This step is essential for pre-event collaboration and ensuring every user can access the appropriate content and tasks.

Manage Roles & Memberships

You will see a list of current team members, including their roles (Team Owner, Admin, etc.). From here, you can remove members, manage pending invites, or adjust existing roles.

Stand Share List

If your event involves collaboration between multiple teams (such as co-exhibitors), you can use the Stand Share List. Under "On behalf of this team," add additional teams to join the Stand Share, which enables shared access and resource collaboration between groups.
