With the upgrade of the SeaTable Cloud to version 3.0, cloud subscribers not only benefit from the many new and improved functions of the major release , but also from a new team management system that simplifies the management of small and especially larger teams. New functions have been added, existing functions have been expanded and a new design creates more clarity and user-friendliness. We are pleased to present the new team management system and the most important changes in this release.
Starting point and challenges
The “old” team management of SeaTable Cloud is a turkey rcs data module of SeaTable Server. (SeaTable Server is the software behind SeaTable Cloud, which is also available for installation on your own server.) As such, it offers all the necessary management functions for teams that are required for use within an organization (private cloud). However, it does not offer any functions for managing subscriptions or integration with a payment service provider.
"Old" team administration
These functions, which are necessary for operating a solution with a general user group (public cloud), were individually added for SeaTable Cloud. In terms of user experience, team management fell short of usual standards despite the comparatively high technical complexity. Expanding a team, for example, first required extending the subscription by one or more users before additional users could be registered in another menu. The result was numerous support requests, including the associated frustration at this unusual procedure.
