Within Teamwork Chat, you can create project
channels that link directly back to an
associated project in your Teamwork.com site.
Project channels are a
useful way to have discussions with all
members of a project. You can enable a project
channel when first
creating a new channel, or by editing an
existing channel.
Any member of the project who is already enabled as a user on
your Teamwork Chat site will automatically be
added to the project channel.
Note: Users cannot leave a
project channel.
When creating a new
channel or editing an existing
channel, you will be able to select the
private, public, or project channel as the
privacy option.
Only projects you are an administrator of
will appear in the project selector
dropdown within settings. Only projects
with no existing project channel will be
displayed.
Note: New channels cannot be
created or discovered on the iOS and
Android apps, this can only be done via
desktop.
Conditions when using project channels
- Project channels will inherit the project
name from Teamwork.com.
- Any updates made to the project name
transfer across into the project
channel in Teamwork Chat.
- You can only have one project channel per
project.
- All project members (including observers)
will be added to
the project channel by default as long as
they are already an active Teamwork Chat
user.
Creating a new project channel
To create a new project channel, click
the quick add + option in
the
top right of the navigation bar and select Add channel.
In the Add a channel modal,
select Linked to
Teamwork Project option,
you can then select one of your existing
projects to link the channel to.
You will also have the option of
selecting a channel avatar.
Note: Project
channels must first be
converted to either a public
or private channel before they
can be deleted.
