The Fleets module in SkyDeck serves as your organizational repository containing all available assets such as pilots, drones, and payloads used for data collection projects and missions. The Teams feature on SkyDeck allows you to establish deployable units called teams, which can be assigned to specific projects. The assets within the team are utilized to execute missions and milestones under the project. After project completion, the team can be disbanded or reassigned for a new project.

This article covers the following features:

• Creating a Team

• Assigning Teams to a Project

• Releasing a Team

You may also do this assignment when creating a new project in the Projects Module.

One team can only be mapped to one project, however a project can have multiple teams assigned.

Assigning Teams to a Project

There are two way you can assign a team to a project.

1. While creating a team, select the required active Project and/or Milestone from the respective optional drop-downs. This method is most useful when your project has been setup before you create the team.

2. You can also assign teams when creating a Project. Once the project details are entered, select from the available teams to automatically assign them to that project. This method is most useful when the team is already setup before you create the project.

Releasing a Team

Once a project is completed, the team can either be re-assigned to another Project or it can be released, allowing for the individual resources to be used for creating a different team. To release the resources from a team you can:

1. Navigate to the Fleets Module and hover over the team that you want to release.

2. Click on the 3-dots option on the top right and select Release Team option from the menu. Confirm your action to complete the process.
