Once you have your team set up, you can add people to the team. In the last section, “Creating a New Team,” we created an org-wide team so that everyone within the organization is automatically added to the team. In this section, we go through the same process as before to create a new team, but this time we’ll create a public and a private team and add members first during the creation process and then after we’ve already set up the team.

To invite people to your team during the initial team creation process, follow these steps:

1 Follow Steps 1–4 in the previous example to create a new team.

2 When asked, “What type of team will this be?”, instead of selecting the Org-wide option (shown earlier in Figure 3-4), choose Public or Private to create either a new public or private team.When you create a public or private team, you are also presented with a dialog box to invite people to join it just after the team is created, as shown in Figure 3-7.FIGURE 3-7: The dialog box to invite people to your team during the creation process.

3 Start typing the name of the person you want to invite to the team in the text box. The search functionality automatically looks for and populates the text box based on the letters you are typing. This happens in real time so that you can see the results of your search as you are typing. This is helpful if, for example, you only know the first part of someone’s name, or if you only know that the name starts with a certain letter.

4 Once you find the correct person, click that person’s name and then click Add.

5 Continue adding people until you’ve invited all the team members you wish to add.The users will be notified of their new team membership depending on how they have notifications set up. I cover notifications in detail in Chapter 8.

You can invite people to your public or private team after it is created, too. Suppose a new person joins your organization and you want to add that person to your team. The only way people can join a private team is if you invite them, whereas anyone in the organization can join a public team. With an org-wide team, everyone in your organization is automatically included in the team.

To invite people to your public or private team after it has been created, follow these steps:

1 Click the Teams icon in the left navigation pane to see a list of your teams.

2 Click the ellipsis next to the name of the team you want to invite someone to join.This opens a menu with more options.

3 In the More Options drop-down menu that appears, select Add Member, as shown in Figure 3-8.The Add Members dialog box that was shown earlier in Figure 3-7 appears. This is the same dialog box that appears when you first create a public or private team.

4 Start typing the name of the person you want to invite to the team in the text box.

5 Once you find the correct person, click that person’s name and then click Add.The users will be notified of their new team membership depending on how they have notifications set up. I cover notifications in detail in Chapter 8.
