Adding a Team

In this topic, we are going to explain how to add a team using the Division/Team command located on the Tables Menu.. You can easily adapt our steps to change an existing team. Before you begin, you might find it helpful to review the definitions of a division and a team in the Division Team topic.

You should also consider two important points as you prepare to add or change teams. We recommend that:

• The Custom INS Team that was included in the AIM installation should not be deleted. Deleting the team may negatively impact the ability of AIM product support to assist you when needed.
• You do not modify the team ID when changing an existing division. Modification of the ID can create problems with referential database integrity.

1. On the Tables menu, click Division/Team to open the Organization Structure Maintenance dialog box.

2. On the Divisions tab, select the appropriate division, or click the Teams tab.

3. On the upper portion of the Teams tab, you will see information in a grid about the teams that have already been added to the division that you selected on the Divisions tab.
