IT-supported Department Team Sites are replacing the shared file drives (DFS) currently used for file storage within a department as the new long-term shared file storage solution.
"IT-supported" means that:
- Information Technology has an automated process for creating Department Teams Sites. No set up work on your part.
- Information Technology will assist departments in migrating the contents of their shared drives to the Department Teams Site. Department Teams Sites are created for long-term document storage by departments and their members. Other Team sites will be subject to a 1-year inactivity expiration policy.
- Department Teams Sites are preconfigured with a private "Admin" channel for storing documents requiring restricted access. This private ​channel is available only to department administrative staff.
- IT-Supported Department Teams Site membership is based on employee appointments within the department and is automatically maintained.
- Department file storage in Teams is accessible through web browsers - much easier than DFS access.
If you have already created a Teams site for your department IT can update your existing team site to a Department Teams Site! To request a Department Team Site please submit an IT Workorder or contact the IT Service Desk.
