  • Open: Anyone can find an open group, join and see posts.
  • Closed: Anyone can find a closed group but only members can see posts.
  • Private: You have to be invited to join a secret group. Non-members can’t find secret groups and won’t be able to see any posts.
  • External: For external organizations. Requires an invitation link by team Admin

Note that your organization’s System Admin will be able to see all teams, including private and external teams.

Communicating in teams

Communication in teams happens through posts. Posts help keep discussions organized via comments, and are easy to find again days, weeks and months down the road.

Here are a few tips to help you create engaging posts and make sure they’re read:

  • Break up big walls of text and highlight important information.
  • Add images, videos and files to your posts. People will be able to see previews of your files in your post and, if you add a PDF, they will actually be able to add comments and feedback. Plus, any file added to a post in a team will be automatically stored in that team’s files tab, so it’s easy to find again later.
  • Tag people to trigger notifications, it’s the best way to make sure people see your post.
  • Try not to post outside of working hours.
  • You can also open to-do lists, projects and products within teams and only members of that team will see all this data

  1. Create tasks, Start Day & End Day

Create a task list for this team by clicking on create task. Make sure to add privacy as the team. This will automatically inform all team members about the task list. Now you have a place to assign tasks to yourself as well as team members. This will create an auto post in news feed so you can keep track of who is doing what and when at any point in time.

Start Day

Click home plus button and you will see Start Day action on top. Once clicked, system will list all the unfinished, important, repeated tasks to choose from. Once chosen, your teammates will receive an auto comment indicating that you started your day and you plan to finish those particular tasks. That simple and powerful!

End Day

A day that starts should also have an ending. When you are done with your work, you can click the same button which indicates now as “End Day”. This will list you all the actions that you have planned for your day including its status. Once End Day action is taken, an auto comment is generated to be shared with your team mates indicating that you have finished your work day and you have closed those particular tasks.

  1. Save important stuff within collections

Create collections for all the important stuff that matters. To name a few, project collections, announcements, special topics. You create collections so you have a folder of important posts that are all together and no need to ever search for them.

Create a Collection

You can choose any post and select save to collection action. This will also prompt you to create a new collection as well. While creating a collection, there are 2 factors to keep in mind:

  • Privacy field: Set it to whoever you want to provide access to including just yourself, team, department
  • Open to participation: It is up to to make the collection Read-Only for others. If you elect open to participation, then your coworkers can also contribute to the collection.

  1. PeerBie MyWork Chat

For synchronous communication, you have PeerBie MyWork Chat. Chat is best when you need an answer fast or just want to have a casual conversation with coworkers.

You can start a chat with one person or a group of people and share files, photos, videos, GIFs and more.

You can always mute the entire workspace from settings also.

Edit notifications from specific teams

Some teams, like team and project teams, are going to require more attention than others, like social teams. Your notification preferences for teams are automatically set to ON, but if you ever want to modify those preferences you can do that by silencing the specific team.

Manage the notification volume

In settings, choose notifications and you can control the volume of notifications. Default setting is all posts. You can change this to “All about you” which means you will get only relevant notifications such as replies or mentions.

Silence posts

You can always mute certain posts so that they are generating any notifications until it is un-muted.
