How to Create and Manage Teams
The Teams feature in your Pabau account lets you group employees by role, making it easier to set up their default homepage, notification preferences, calendar and online booking availability, and assigned services — all in one place, rather than configuring each staff member individually.
Teams can also be used for calendar management and filtering, setting client access permissions, tracking leads, and generating reports.
Step 1: Navigate to Teams
Log in to your Pabau account, and in the left sidebar menu, go to Team, then select "Team" again, and click on the Team tab.
Step 2: Create Team
When you go to the Teams tab, you’ll see a default team that includes all employees not yet assigned to specific teams.
To create a new team, click the "New Team" button in the top right corner. Keep in mind that each person can only be part of one team.
Here, you can enter the team name, choose their default homepage and notification settings, and add the staff members who will be part of it.
If the team is supposed to have a calendar available for bookings, you'll also need to select the services they’ll provide.
Step 3: Edit Teams
To edit an existing team, click the three-dot icon next to the team name, then select "Edit."

From the team editing modal, you can change the team name, the staff members who will be part of the team, the default homepage they will see upon logging into the system, and the notifications they will receive.

Additionally, from the dropdown menu in the last section, you can select which services the team will provide.
You can use the steps provided to create and manage teams within the system whenever necessary, enabling you to create as many teams as required.

Step 3: Team Configurations
From the team editing modal, you can change the team name, add or remove the staff members who are part of the team, the default homepage they will see upon logging into the system, and the notifications they will receive.

How to Filter by Teams in the Calendar

How to Create and Manage Visibility
The Visibility feature grants you control over the client information accessible to various staff members in your clinic. By configuring visibility groups, you can restrict access to specific areas excluded in the visibility settings. These settings will uniformly apply to all client and lead cards, ensuring privacy and security.
Step 1: Navigate to the Team Feature
Log in to your Pabau account, and in the left sidebar menu, go to Team, then select "Team" again, and click on the Team tab.
Step 2: Navigate to Visibility
From the Team menu, navigate to the Visibility tab, where you can find the automatically created default group. To create a new visibility group, click on the "New group" button located in the top right corner.
Step 3: Create Visibility Group
On the Create Group page, under the Visibility tab, you can choose between Clients and Leads.
From here, you can add the name of the group (at the top of the page) and adjust the settings accordingly.
The visibility settings allow you to set which areas of the client or lead card can be seen by users of this visibility group.
Step 4: Configure Users Tab

NOTE: Keep in mind that one person can be part of only one visibility group. So, if you want to change staff within the visibility group, you need to remove them from the previous one and add them to the new one.
Step 5: Manage Visibility Groups
You can manage the visibility group by clicking on the three vertical dots on the right next to the active button. From there, you can edit or delete that particular group.

By following these steps, you can create and manage visibility groups in your Pabau account.
