How to create teams

Learn how to create teams in the Deeper Signals platform.

Updated over a week ago

Overview

Strong teams don’t happen by accident. When leaders understand how their team members think, communicate, and make decisions, they can coach more effectively.

The Deeper Signals platform provides Team Dynamics reports to help managers understand their teams and improve collaboration, leadership, and performance.


About team reports

Team reports provide insights into how a team operates and how managers can support individual team members.

There are two types of team reports:

  • Core Drivers Team Report – compares the manager’s Core Drivers with those of the team

  • Core Drivers Group Report – focuses exclusively on the team’s Core Drivers

These reports include:

  • Team-level behavioral insights to understand how the team works together

  • Leadership guidance to help managers support their team more effectively

  • Coaching insights tailored for each direct report

Additional details:

  • Reports are available when a manager and at least one team member complete the Core Drivers assessment

  • For teams without a manager, reports are available once at least one team member completes the assessment

  • Reports automatically update as additional team members complete their assessments

  • Reports are available online and as a PDF

  • Team managers can access their report from their user dashboard, while platform administrators can view reports in the Teams tab.


How to add new teams

To create a new team:

  1. Go to Teams.

  2. Click +Add first team or +New team.

You can then choose to:

  • Add teams manually

  • Upload a file to add multiple teams at once


Note: The file upload option for adding teams is available only for enterprise accounts.



Add a team manually

To create a team manually:

  1. Enter a team name.

  2. Assign a team manager. If you want to create a team without a manager, simply skip assigning a manager.

  3. Click Next.

Next, add team members.

You can filter users using additional columns such as:

  • Tags

  • Invite campaigns

  • HRIS values

After selecting users:

4. Click “Add members”.

5. Review the team details.

6. Click Next.

Finally, configure report access settings.

You can choose whether reports are visible to:

  • Team manager only

  • Both the manager and team members

  • No one (in that case, it will only be visible to admins)

You can also hide individual user results from the team manager. When enabled, managers will only see aggregated team results.

7. Click Complete.


Add teams with a file upload


Note: The file upload option for adding teams is available only for enterprise accounts.


To upload teams with a CSV file:

  1. Go to Teams.

  2. Click +New team.

  3. Select Add teams with file upload.

You can:

  • Download the .csv template to see the required structure

  • Upload your prepared .csv file directly

Below is an example of how the CSV file should be structured.


Note: One user can be a manager of multiple teams and/or belong to multiple teams.


Once the file is uploaded:

4. Click Complete.


Note: To ensure the correct format, you can copy your data into Google Sheets, then download it as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file before uploading it to the platform.
