Add and Manage Field Employee Groups
To access the Field Employee setup page, go to Settings > Field Employees which is further grouped into 2 sections: Manage Employees and Manage Groups.
- Manage Employees – Set up and manage individual field employees, including their permissions and, for some users, supervisor permissions.
- Manage Groups – Set up different field employee groups and assign individual field employees to these groups.
Field employees can be grouped into teams. Decide on how you would like them to be grouped – by schedule, by speciality, by area or whatever you decide. Create the teams and assign the group supervisor and the field employees.
From the backend, Office Users create and manage Field Employee Group profiles depending on their permissions.
