# Working with the Teams Tab and Prioritization

### **Summary**

The Teams Tab supports structured team coordination by displaying all issues assigned to a specific team in priority order. Managers can adjust this order to reflect changing priorities, helping teams focus on what matters most and stay aligned with departmental goals.

### **Access and Permissions**

-   **All users** can view the Teams Tab and see the team’s priority list.
-   **Only managers should** change the order of issues using the drag-and-drop.
-   Once a **manager updates the rank order**, it becomes the team’s priority list and remains in place until changed again.

### **How to Access the Teams Tab**

1.  Open the **Issue Register**.
2.  At the top of the register, select **Team**  tab (next to Department tab).
3.  Use the **Team** dropdown to select your team.
4.  The list displays all issues assigned to that team, organized by priority

### **How to Prioritize Issues (Managers Only)**

1.  In the **Team tab**, locate the list of issues for your team.
2.  **Click and** **drag an issue** up or down to adjust its order of priority.
3.  Release the issue in the desired position.
4.  The new order automatically becomes the team’s priority list.
5.  The **list should remain** in this order **until a manager updates** it again.

### **How to View Team Priorities**

#### **Team Tab**

#### All team members can view the team’s prioritized list in **Team View**.

-   The order displayed reflects the team’s current priorities as defined by the manager.
-   This view helps ensure that all team members are aligned on what should be worked on first.

After a **team’s issues have been prioritized**, they also appear in the main **Issue Register** under the **Team** column (when enabled), showing the **team name and priority number** on the badge.

#### **Issue Register**
