Teams

A team is members invited directly to tasks: people booked often, or people already worked with, once they join. It is built in Settings. Each member added is pending until they accept from their home page. The member who built the team can remove anyone on it, and a member can leave, at any time.

The same field invites anyone not yet on Renner: an email address in place of a name sends an invitation in the inviter's name. Once they join and are admitted they are added to the team, pending their acceptance, and the listed invitation clears itself.

Once a team member has accepted, a task can be posted to all members, posted to the team only, posted to selected members, or assigned to one team member. A team task is sent as an invitation to the team members chosen at posting, and accepting it books the task. Payment is charged and held at booking and released when the task is complete, as on any task.

A task posted to selected members is seen only by the members selected, on or off the team, and it never appears on the Feed. They apply to it like any other task, and the posting member chooses who to book.

An assignment books the team member it names, and there is nothing for them to accept. The task is visible only to the poster and that member. Every rule that governs a booking governs an assignment: a task requiring a license is assigned only to a member whose license is verified for its date, payment is charged and held at the booking, and the member can report being unable to complete it as they can on any task.

One member can be assigned up to ten dates at once. Each date is its own task and its own payment, and the assignment is all of them or none: if any date cannot be booked, nothing is assigned and the reason is named. Where a task requires a license, each date is checked against the member's license before anything is posted.

A team task is visible only to its poster and the team.

An unbooked team task can be opened to all members from its Applications page. It is then posted to the network like any open task, and cannot be returned to the team.

A company has a team of its own, held by the business rather than by any one member. Members choose which invitations to accept, apply to any open task, and may be on any number of teams.
