How to Manage Standupify Team Settings: Name, Deactivate, or Delete

Standupify provides powerful tools for team administrators to manage their teams effectively. This guide will walk you through how to update a team's name, temporarily pause team activities by deactivating a team, or permanently remove a team and its associated data.

Accessing Team Settings

1. Navigate to the Teams Section: From the main navigation bar in Standupify, click on "Teams".
2. Select Your Team: Choose the specific team you wish to manage from the list. For example, if your team is named "Projectli", click on it.
3. Go to Settings: Within the team's view, click on the "Settings" tab.

Changing a Team's Name

The "General" section allows you to update your team's identity.

1. Locate Team Name Field: In the "General" section, find the "Team name" input field. It will display the current name (e.g., "Projectli").
2. Edit the Name: Type the new desired name for your team into the input field.
3. Save Changes: Click the blue "Save" button to apply the new team name.

Deactivating a Team

Deactivating a team pauses all check-ins without losing any data or user access. It's ideal for temporary project holds.

1. Go to Manage Team Section: Scroll down to the "Manage Team" section on the Settings page.
2. Understand Deactivation: Read the descriptive text: "Users will still have access to the team but all check-ins inside deactivated teams will be paused. You will be able to activate the team any time later."
3. Click Deactivate: Click the gray "Deactivate" button. The team's check-ins will now be paused.

Deleting a Team Permanently

Deleting a team is an irreversible action that removes all associated data and user access. Use this with caution for obsolete teams.

1. Locate Delete Team Option: In the "Manage Team" section, find the "Delete team" button.
2. Review Warning: Carefully read the warning: "Deleting the team will remove all check-ins and all users in the team will lose access to the team, you will not be able to recover the data, it is irreversible."
3. Confirm Deletion: Click the red "Delete team" button. You will likely be prompted for a final confirmation due to the irreversible nature of this action.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I deactivate a team?

Deactivating a team pauses all daily check-ins and other associated workflows for that team. However, all team data, history, and user access are retained, allowing you to reactivate the team at any time and resume operations without data loss.

Is team deletion reversible?

No, team deletion is an irreversible action. Once a team is deleted, all its check-ins, associated data, and user access are permanently removed and cannot be recovered.

Who can change a team's name or deactivate/delete it?

Typically, only Team Administrators, Organization Owners, or Project Managers with appropriate permissions within Standupify have the ability to manage team settings, including changing names, deactivating, or deleting teams.

Will deactivating a team affect its Jira integration?

While check-ins are paused, the underlying Jira integration settings for the team are retained. However, any automated actions tied to active check-ins (like creating Jira issues from standup responses) will cease until the team is reactivated.
