Add organizations

CONTENTS

The organization is the official team on the company's organizational chart. It is different from a Group that has temporary members and is not related to organizational charts such as projects or clubs.

The organization (team) may have a company-appointed leader. Members cannot join, move, or leave the organization on their own.

There are two ways to add an organization to LINE WORKS: individually or in bulk.

Add organizations individually

Add one organization at a time.

To add a sub-organization, add the organization and move it to the correct position.

Add from the Organization page

  1. Select 'Member' from the left to expand the menu and press 'Team' to access the page. On mobile, tap the button to access the menus. 
  2. Press 'Add Team' at the top right to access the 'Add' window.
  3. After entering all the required fields, press 'Add' on the bottom to complete adding an organization.

The following are the list and descriptions of the information you can enter in the 'Add' window.

  • Organization name (required): You can enter up to 100 characters including special characters such as . ! @ & ( ) – _ + [ ] { }. If the multi-language setting is on for the organization name, you can enter the organization name in each of the languages in use to display.

It can have 2 to 40 characters in a combination of English lowercase letters, numbers, periods (.), hyphens (-), underscores (_), and exclamation marks (!). However, you cannot use email addresses already in use, including email addresses of members, groups, and organizations.
