FAQs #

You can also learn more about teams in general on our main FAQ page.

What is a group?

A group is a group of forms and server datasets. You can create them on the Design tab of your server console: Click a plus on the left, then Add a group, and you can create a new group.

What is a team?

A team is a secure area on your server with its own forms and datasets, and you can restrict access to that team, so only specific users have access to the forms and datasets for that team. Each team will have a group assigned to it, and only members of that team will have access to that group.

How much is each team?

The cost of each team depends on the pricing plan you choose and what you determine is right for you. With a monthly subscription, costs start at $250 for the Basic plan, $350 for the Pro plan, and $700 for the Advanced plan. There are also bulk discounts available.

For example, if you are on the Pro plan, and you have a server with two teams, then you will be charged a total of $700 per month. With bulk discounts, if you are on the Basic plan with a single team, and you pay for twelve months of service in advance, then you will only pay $225 per month.

What is a user role?

A user role is a set of permissions that governs the access of a user. Every user must have a user role. User roles determine which groups that user can access, and what permissions the user has for that group. For example, a user role can have “Data collection only” permission for Group A, and users with that user role will be able to collect data for Group A, but they will not be able to view data for that group, and they will not be able to access any other group.

Can a user have access to multiple teams?

Yes. You can create a user role that has access to multiple teams/groups, which you can learn about in our video How to create a user role.

What are shared groups?

A shared group is any group that does not belong to a team. Access to shared groups can be restricted for each user role.

Why can’t I add a team to my single-team server?

Only multi-team subscriptions can have teams set up on the Configure tab. If you have a single-team server, you cannot have any active teams listed under Your teams; all teams must be either paused or deleted.
