Switching teams to search for more studies

Teams are used in to determine which studies you are allowed to view. By default, all users are members of the Everyone team.

After you log in for the first time, check to see if the administrator has assigned you to more than one team by clicking on the Select Teams tool. If you have been assigned to a team other than Everyone, you can specify which team to use by default when you log in.

Change your team as required using the Select Team tool. For example, Dr. X is an anesthetist and works for all surgical specialties. Every day he covers a different specialty and needs to change his team. Before performing a search, he uses the Select Team tool to choose a team. On Monday he chooses the Ortho team, on Tuesday he chooses the Neuro team, on Wednesday he chooses the ICU team, and so on.

Each team has security restrictions that limit the studies you can access while assigned to that team. allows you to switch between the teams you are assigned to during the same session.

Note: If you want to be added to another team, contact your system administrator to determine the appropriate team and if the team exists.
