Quantum MX allows you to create teams to help firewall operations between different work groups, locations, or regulatory boundaries. Teams provide a security layer between work orders, purchase/sales orders, inventory, and user permissions, allowing you to operate multiple locations or P&L centers within one Quantum MX domain.

Teams are generally created for distinct operating locations, major operating divisions, or to separate repair station work.

Examples:
1. Part 145 team + general A&P team.
2. Avionics install team + aircraft maintenance team.
3. Interiors team + aircraft maintenance team.
4. Location A team + location B team.
5. Shop Team + Mobile Truck 1 + Mobile Truck 2 + Mobile Truck 3 teams.

Team User Permissions

Users may be members of multiple teams with the team settings controlling the user permissions. For example, a user may be assigned general technician permissions on one team, while acting as an inspector on another team.

Team Inventory Permissions

Inventory may be controlled within team boundaries or shared between all teams. The inventory sharing feature allows you to control the access to inventory, either isolated by team or shared between all teams.

Team Work Order Permissions

Work orders, purchase orders and sales orders are assigned to an individual team. Users who do are not assigned to the team will not have access to these documents across team boundaries.
