Teams
A Team is a named group of agents under a team lead. Teams make routing, reporting, and commission defaults easier to manage — instead of configuring every agent one by one, you set things up once for the team. Teams live in Brokerage Settings → Teams and are managed by brokers, admins, and team leads.
Creating a team
- Open Brokerage Settings and go to the Teams tab.
- Click Add team.
- Give it a name, optionally a description, and (optionally) pick a team lead.
- Save. The team appears in the list, ready for members.
Adding members & roles
Open a team to manage its roster:
- Add a member — pick someone from your brokerage and add them.
- Set a member's team role — within a team, a person is a lead or a member. Team-level roles describe their place on the team (team lead, agent, assistant, ISA, coordinator); they're separate from a person's brokerage role and from any single Realm's roles.
- Remove a member — unassigns them from the team. Their Realm account isn't affected; they just leave the team.
Deleting a team unassigns its members — it never deletes anyone's account or their work. Members simply become team-less.
Applying defaults
A team can carry a default commission plan. The apply-defaults action pins that team's default plan to members who don't already have a commission assignment of their own.
It's deliberately non-destructive: apply-defaults never overwrites an agent's existing commission assignment. If an agent already has a plan or an override, they keep it; only members with nothing set inherit the team default. The canonical place to assign or override an individual's commission is still Commission plans.
Routing & pipeline visibility
A team carries a small Routing panel of toggles that control how it handles leads and what its members can see:
- Team can receive leads — whether the team is eligible for routing at all. Turn it on before a routing rule can send leads here.
- Round-robin — distribute incoming leads evenly across eligible members instead of piling them on one person.
- Fallback assignee — the member who picks up any lead no one else takes.
- Open pipeline visibility — when on, **every member sees the whole team's Pipeline board** (view-only on teammates' leads). Off — the default — keeps the team's Pipeline visible to the **team lead and brokers only**. Turn it on for a collaborative team where everyone should see the shared board; leave it off when agents should only see their own leads.
Why teams matter elsewhere
- Routing — routing rules can send new leads to a whole team (e.g. round-robin across the team) rather than naming individuals. See Leads.
- Reporting — production rolls up by team, so a team lead can see their group's numbers in one place.
- Lead buckets — named lead groups can be assigned to teams as well as individuals.
Every team change is recorded in an append-only history, so brokers can always see who changed what and when.
