Manage Your Team

Sequence provides a Team Management feature to make it easier for you to manage your team. Through this feature, users who have access to manage teams can view the list of the teams they own, create/join a team, manage time zone, and manage the members.

To manage your team, you must first log in to your Sequence account. After successfully logging in, select one of your teams found on the dashboard page. The system will display the domain and keyword analysis results page for the team you selected. Next, click your Ava icon to open the setting page.

With Sequence, you can perform the following team management actions:

1. View Team List

On the Settings page, select the Team Management menu. Sequence will display a table containing a list of the teams owned. The data displayed includes the team name, number of domains, roles in the team, and actions that can be taken such as managing or deleting a team.

You can also easily view the team list via Sequence. Equipped with pagination to limit the team data displayed, a search option that allows users to search for the team they belong to, as well as a data filter option to help sort the team they belong to based on their role in that team.

2. Create / Join a Team

In the Team Management menu, users can create a new team or join another team. To create a new team, press the “Create New Team” button then enter the team name and click the “Create” button. The successfully created team will be immediately displayed on your team list.

The maximum number of domains in a team depends on the user's subscription plan type. For example, you can only have 5 domains in a team on the free trial version. With the Personal plan, you can add up to 20 domains to a team.

While on the Professional and Advanced plans, the number of domains in the team is not limited.

In addition, users can also join an existing team by selecting the join existing team option. Sequence will display a modal asking you to enter the token code (unique ID) of the team you want to go to. Click the “Join” button to join the team.

In this case, you can join the team right away or wait for the admin to approve your request. This is determined based on the settings that the team has in accepting new members, whether it requires admin approval or not. If it has not been approved, the team status is pending and you will not be able to access the data in that team.

3. Setting Time Zone

Sequence crawls at 00:00 according to the time zone set by the team owner. Based on our data, at that time, user activity is quite low so if there are problems in the crawling process, it will not interfere with your business activity and our team can fix it quickly.

If you don't set the time zone, the time zone will be set by cmlabs by default which is (GMT+7). This can potentially cause confusion for users who are in different time zones. Therefore, we recommend the team owner set the time zone.

To set the time zone, please click the time zone column in the Timezone Setting section. Our system will display a dropdown of time zone options or you can also perform a time zone search by entering search keywords related to the selected time zone. Click the “Save changes” button to save the changes.

4. Managing Team Members

In the Team Management menu, Sequence displays a table that lists your teams. Select the team settings option by pressing the settings icon in the Action column to manage one of the selected teams. You will be redirected to a page with a list of team members tables. On that page, you can also perform actions to change the team name and avatar and add team members.

Team member data is displayed on the page including email addresses, names, roles, statuses, and actions that can be taken such as changing member roles, blocking, or removing members from the team.

Users can only perform these actions on other team members who have lower roles. For example, an admin can only change roles, block, or delete members with the role of member (viewer) or member (editor).

The team members table is also equipped with pagination, a search feature, and filter options to make it easier for you to search and view team member data. Apart from that, you can also find a list of requests to join your team via the View Request List option.

Adding Team Members

Click the “Add Collaborator” button, then Sequence will display a form to add team members. Please enter the name, email, and role of the member to be added in the fields provided, then click the “Save” button to save the data for the new team member.

There are 3 roles that team members can have, namely, Admin, Member (Viewer), and Member (Editor). Each role has different access rights and capabilities. Hit the Learn more option if you want to know more about the division of roles in Sequence.

You can also add team members by sharing the team token code (unique id). Click the Use unique ID option, then activate the Join by team ID option. Sequence will generate a unique token from your team. Copy the team token code by pressing the copy icon and share it with the users to be added.

The role of a user who joins a team using a unique id will be set by default as a member (viewer). So that they only get access to view data on keyword tracking results. This role can later be adjusted by the owner and admin.

In the generate team token code option, Sequence allows you to make advanced settings such as setting admin approval options to allow users to join the team, set the token time limit (which will expire when it exceeds the specified time limit), and set the maximum number of users who can join the token.

View the Request List to Join the Team

If the process of joining the team using a token code requires admin approval, those who have a role as owner or admin can see the list of requests. Click the View Request List option and our system will redirect you to the team request list page.

On that page, you can see the date of the joining request, your email address, username, and the action you can take to accept or reject the request. Click the check icon in the Action column if you accept the user's request, otherwise click the cross icon if you reject the request.

Our system will display a confirmation message, click the “Accept” or “Decline” button according to the selected action. When the confirmation has been made, you will see an alert containing a message regarding the action. Users who are allowed to join the team will have access to Sequence reports. However, if they are rejected then the user will not be added as a team member.

Changing Team Member Roles

Users can also perform actions such as changing the roles of team members. However, this action can only be performed on other members who have lower roles. To perform the action, click the pencil icon in the Action column and then select the role. The choice of roles consists of admin, member (viewer), and member (editor). Next, click the “Save changes” button to save the changes.
