What are "Teams" in CRM and Are They Useful? From the Dynamic Methods Microsoft CRM blog: "I've been asked a handful of times what Teams are in CRM and when it would be appropriate to use them... Teams are groups of users that can have records shared with them, to facilitate sharing records in mass with groups of people. That is the primary role of Teams within CRM... Teams may also be used when setting up "Resources" for a given "Service" within the Scheduling Calendar. A very powerful tool, but also a lot of set up and a lot of linking that has to be understood to make it all work."
