Exclusive to our subscribed users on our Ultimate plan; Quickly and easily get the right people on the job by setting up Groups
New users signing up after August 2024 will need to turn the user group settings on in their app settings.
To access the app settings click into the main menu
The select app settings and toggle user groups on.
You can set up groups of people that everyone on your Ayoa plan can see and use, such as departments or offices, or choose to keep them private. You can also set up your own groups to help you quickly add people you work with on a regular basis to your task boards, mind maps and chat.
There are two types of groups you can create; "Your Groups" and "Groups in your Ayoa Plan".
"Your Groups" can include any of your contacts including free users, those on a different subscription plan and outside of your Ayoa subscription Plan.
"Groups in your Ayoa Plan" can be made up of people that have been added to the same subscription plan as you. For example, if you had been invited to a 10 user subscription plan, you could make groups from the other 9 users who have also been invited to that plan. You can make these plans visible to everyone else on the plan so that they can use them too. This option is only available if you have a team subscription.
