Request a Department Team Site
IT-supported
Department Team Sites are replacing the shared file drives (DFS) currently used for file storage within a department as the new long-term shared file storage solution.
"IT-supported" means that:
-
Information Technology has an automated process for creating
Department Teams Sites. No set up work on your part.
-
Information Technology will assist departments in migrating the contents of their shared drives to the Department Teams Site.
Department Teams Sites are created for long-term document storage by departments and their members. Other Team sites will be subject to a 1-year inactivity expiration policy.
-
Department Teams Sites are preconfigured with a
private "Admin" channel for storing documents requiring restricted access. This private channel is available only to department administrative staff.
-
IT-Supported
Department Teams Site membership is based on employee appointments within the department and is automatically maintained.
Have you already created a Teams site for your department? IT can update your existing team site to a
Department Teams Site!
But Teams is so much more!
Teams is so much more than a place to share department files. Department members also have access to all of Teams rich feature set.
-
Use Teams
channels and
chat to keep department conversations organized and out of your email.
-
Add Wikis, Microsoft Forms, and other tools to your channels.
-
Use Teams
video/audio calls to have quick conversations with co-workers - just as easy as walking down the hall to their office on campus.
-
Department file storage in Teams is accessible through web browsers - much easier than DFS access.
-
And Teams is a GREAT collaboration tool!
