Teams

An Organization can be divided into several Teams, each with its own on-call schedule.

One organization, several teams

An Organization can be divided into several Teams. A team generally brings together the members of the organization who work on the same functional or technical scope. For example, you might have a System Administrators team and a separate Application Maintenance team.

Note: A user can belong to several teams.

At any given time, at most one team member is considered on-call for their team. When an incident is raised, this is the member who will be notified (according to their notification strategies).

Notifying the on-call user

On-call schedule

Defining who is on-call is done by configuring the on-call schedule. This is specific to each team and lets you in particular:

  • define the on-call periodicity, i.e. the duration of an on-call shift (or how often it changes): it can be daily, weekly, or monthly.
  • optionally split the rotation period into sub-periods of arbitrary duration: for example, you could have a weekly rotation split into 2 sub-periods of 5 days (for weekdays) and 2 days (for the weekend).
  • define the rotation order of the on-call team members
  • declare one-off on-call shifts in one click
  • get a time-based overview (in calendar form) of the upcoming on-call schedule
