MC705350 - Deploy your Frontline Operational hierarchy in the Teams Admin Center

Updated March 15, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Operational hierarchy will enable admins to map their organization’s structure of frontline teams/locations to a hierarchy in the Teams Admin Center. Admins can define metadata that ranges from department information to brand information metadata for each team/location. The operational hierarchy coupled with this metadata will enable numerous frontline apps and experiences in the future like task publishing and others that are forthcoming.

When this will happen:

The rollout of this feature will be completed in late March 2024 (previously February) in the Teams Admin Center.

How this will affect your organization:

Admins will be able to:

• Upload a CSV on the Teams Admin Center that defines the operational hierarchy of the organization.
• Within this same CSV, define metadata for each location that can include any attributes of your teams/locations such as information on what departments exist, the store layout, brand information, and more.
• Enable frontline apps and experiences in the future such as task publishing along with others that are forthcoming.
