The firm workspace

Assigned team

Every file has its owners: an optional supervisor and the staff who follow it day to day.

Updated on August 14, 2026

Why assign a team

Assignment answers a simple question: who looks after this client? It makes the portfolio legible — the file list shows the team next to each name — and it feeds the audit indicators, which tie the work produced back to the people who did it.

Note

Assignment organises the work; it does not replace permissions, which are still carried by each person's role within the firm.

Supervisor and members

Two levels, deliberately few.

  • The supervisor — one per file, optional. The named point of contact, the person you turn to when a call has to be made.
  • The members — the staff who follow the file day to day. As many as needed.
  • A member can be promoted to supervisor; the previous supervisor then simply becomes a member of the file again.

Managing the assignment

From the file record, Team section.

  1. 1

    Assign a supervisor

    Pick them among the firm's members. They appear at the top of the section.

  2. 2

    Add the staff

    One at a time, from the same list. Those already assigned are flagged to avoid duplicates.

  3. 3

    Adjust over time

    Removing someone touches nothing they produced: the file keeps its history and its attributions.

Tip

A file with no assigned team works perfectly well: assignment is there to organise, not to open access.

What assignment brings to the audit

Team indicators rest on this organisation: documents processed and rejected, average processing time, number of clients followed per person. Without assignment those figures stay readable but lose their anchor: you see what was done, not how the workload is spread.
