Introduction
Team names in CAREFUL help identify clinical units across your organisation. You can rename a team at any time to reflect changes in your service structure or to improve clarity for staff members.
Before You Start
Required permissions: You must be either:
- The Team Owner of the team you want to rename, OR
- An Organisation Administrator
Steps
-
From the sidebar, click Teams to expand the team list.
-
Click on the name of the team you want to rename. The team view opens showing the Patients tab by default.
-
Click the kebab menu (⋮ three vertical dots) in the top-right corner of the screen.
-
From the dropdown menu, select Rename team. A dialog box titled "Rename Team" appears.
-
In the Team Name field, you'll see the current team name pre-filled. The cursor automatically focuses in this field.
-
Type the new team name. The team name must be unique within your organisation and cannot exceed 100 characters.
-
Click the Submit button. The button shows a loading indicator whilst the change is being saved.
-
The dialog closes automatically when the rename is complete. You'll immediately see the new team name displayed in:
- The team view header
- The Teams accordion in the sidebar
- All patient lists and referrals associated with this team
To cancel without saving, click the ✕ (close) button in the top-right corner of the dialog at any time.
Tips
-
Choose descriptive names: Team names appear throughout CAREFUL in patient lists, handovers, and referrals. Clear team names help staff quickly identify the right care team.
-
Unique names required: If you try to use a team name that already exists in your organisation, you'll see a validation error below the Team Name field. Simply choose a different name and resubmit.
-
Immediate updates: The new team name appears instantly across all views for all users -- no need to refresh the page or log out.
-
No confirmation message: CAREFUL doesn't show a success notification after renaming. The immediate update of the team name throughout the interface confirms the change was saved successfully.
