Create a chapter

  • Updated

This article explains how to create chapters. Chapters usually represent a city or a specific location in your community, but they can also represent different categories or areas of interest.

You can only assign a team role to a chapter after it has been created. Ability to view and modify chapter settings is based on the permissions of the role the team member has been assigned. Check-in only team role permissions are not able to see the chapter dashboard.

    • Title: The name of the chapter
    • Location Details
