- On one side, the services the team answers for.
- On the other, the on-call schedule that says who gets paged at any moment.
Create and edit
Owners and admins create teams under Teams. Each team has:- Name — reflecting real responsibility, not the org chart.
- Members — who can join the schedule and act on the team’s incidents.
- Services — what the team covers.
- On-call schedule — who answers right now.

One team per on-call rotation

Avoid services without a team
Avoid services without a team
A service with no responsible team has the same effect. Review auto-registered services periodically.
