Campaign settings, user management, and regional settings in Slack

This article is intended for Crewting administrators who wish to configure, manage, or customize Coffee-Breaks.

ℹ️ You can find the Crewting web app in Slack: Slack > Sidebar > Apps > Crewting > Home > Admin settings > Open platform.

💡 All settings described apply to the entire workspace and not just to individual campaigns.

⚠️ Important: The Crewting web app is available to admins and can be opened via the admin settings in the Slack app. We recommend using the web app for all settings, as it offers a clearer display. In principle, the settings can also be made in Slack.

Campaign settings

The campaign settings apply to all campaigns. The following settings are available:

ℹ️ You can find the Crewting web app in Slack here: Slack > Sidebar > Apps > Crewting > Home > Admin settings > Open platform > Employee matching > Settings.

Who I don't want to meet: Here you can specify whether users can block individual colleagues so that they are not matched with these people. Blocking is done exclusively by the users themselves.

Extended scheduling period: Extended period during which appointments are automatically scheduled. By default, appointments are scheduled for the following week. In practice, however, it can happen that a calendar is full and no mutual free slots can be found. For this reason, it is possible to set a longer period. If no suitable appointment is available for both parties in the first week, the following week is selected, and so on.

Matchmaking break: Here you can set the maximum period for how many months a user can pause Coffee-Breaks and for how many matchmaking intervals a user can pause at most. The individual options are explained in the following two paragraphs.

Set maximum duration of Coffee-Break pause for users: Each user can pause Coffee-Breaks for a certain period of time. This setting can be used to control the limit for this function. In principle, a limit of 1 to 12 months can be set. The default setting is 3 months. Changes can be made using the drop-down menu.

Maximum number of Coffee-Breaks that can be paused by a user: Each user can pause Coffee-Breaks for a certain number of Coffee-Breaks. This setting can be used to control the limit for this function. The limit can be set to between 1 and 10 Coffee-Breaks. The default setting is 3 Coffee-Breaks. Changes can be made using the drop-down menu.

User management and regional settings

These settings allow you to assign admin permissions to users in your workspace and configure regional settings at any time:

ℹ️ These settings can be found here in the Crewting web app: Slack > Sidebar > Apps > Crewting > Home > Admin settings > Open platform > User management.

Admin permissions

Here, you can assign admin permissions to other users. The user can then also create and manage campaigns. To add a new admin:

Click Add in the top right corner
Search for the user you want to grant admin permissions to
Click on Grant Admin Permissions

The user now has admin permissions

Regional Settings

The following regional settings are used by default if the data of an individual user is not available in Slack. If this is the case, the default settings act as a safeguard and are adopted by the user who installs the app. These settings can be adjusted at any time.
