GAPP offers you, the user, the ability to create teams. In the same way that all people are the child of someone but at the same time can also be the parent of someone else, similarly in the GAPP “family tree” hierarchal structure, each team is a child team in relation to its parent team but can also be a parent team in relation to child teams. Further exploring the “family” analogy, in the same way that a person’s children, grandchildren, etc. are considered their descendants, similarly a GAPP team’s “descendants” are its child teams, grandchild teams, etc. You can use this “family tree” structure to set up your teams in a way that makes the most strategic sense for your team’s context.

Info

Note:

Administrators and Network Viewers of a parent team can view all information (team name, team members, activity information, etc.) related to their child teams. Viewers and members cannot view any child team information. See Team Roles for more information.
A child team cannot see any information related to their parent team. From the Child team’s perspective, they do not even know who their parent team is.
All GAPP team members, regardless of role, can create a child team. By default, whoever creates a team becomes the administrator of that team.
Although you can view all activity information in your child / descendant teams, you will not be able to edit any activity information unless you are an administrator or member of that team.
All activity information can be aggregated and summarized up to a parent team.

Reasons for Creating a Child Team

You may be working with several groups and want people within each group to see each other’s activity information, but not the activity information of people from other groups due to security concerns. See Who to Invite to What for more information.
Since team administrators can customize their activity templates, as an administrator you may want to create different activity templates and different team objectives for separate groups which are more contextually relevant to the type of work they are doing and the state of the gospel of the peoples and places they work among.
You may want to aggregate and summarize the activity information of different group members separately.
