# Organizing teams in a chart

If your Payhawk account is set up as a group, **Teams** will show your teams as a chart. You can see how teams and sub-teams are organized across the group and build the structure directly in the chart.

> The **Teams** chart is available in Payhawk Labs as part of the new HR system connection at the group level.

## Accessing the **Teams** chart

To access the Teams chart in a group Payhawk account:

1. In the [Payhawk Web Portal](https://portal.payhawk.com), go to **Employees** > **Teams**. The **Edit group teams** page will open with the group at the top of the chart and the teams below it.
2. For a quick walkthrough, click **Show me how** in the **Configure group team structure** banner.

Each team card shows the team name and how many sub-teams and members it has, for example **2 teams · 14 members**.

- To expand or collapse the team, click the counts at the bottom of a card.
- To open the team's details, click the card.
- To highlight one team and its part of the chart, use **Spotlight**.

## Building your team structure

If there are no teams yet, the page will show **No teams yet**.

To build or change the structure, you can:

- Click **Add team** to create a top-level team.
- Hover over a team card and click **+** to create a sub-team directly under that team.
- In a team's details, click **Add sub-team** to add a team under it, or **Move** to put the team under a different parent team.
- To create many teams at once, click **⋯** next to **Add team** and select **Import**.

## Teams, Line Managers, and the **Org chart**

Teams and Line Managers are two separate structures and you can use both in the same approval workflow:

- Teams group people for spend, approvals, and reporting, and each team has a Team Manager.
- Line Managers set out who reports to whom and appear in the **Org chart**.
