Teams enable you to group and filter schedules. They are also used to determine which users a coverage request should be sent to.

In the future, we might extend the functionality around teams, e.g., to enable fine-grained access control.

Adding members to a team is also straightforward.

## Linking teams to schedules

You can link to teams during a schedule during the creation. Go to the `Additional settings` section and select the teams you would like to add.

To link teams to an existing schedule, simply edit the schedule settings.
