Creating a Workspace Workgroup

Workspace workgroups give you a way to organize your team members in logical groups. Using workgroups, you can easily assign tasks and issues to appropriate team members.

For example, you might create a workgroup called Designers, containing the graphic designers assigned to work on a workspace. When you add a task to 'Create Pictures for Marketing Brochure,' you can assign the task to the Designers workgroup, rather than assigning it to all the individual designers.

Workspace workgroups are created by project managers or other workspace members with administrative permissions. PPM also provides enterprise workgroups, created by PPM administrators. For more information, see Workgroups - Overview.

Note: Text fields such as the workgroup name do not support hyperlinks or other HTML formatting.
