What are the components of the Team page?

My Apps includes a Team page that allows you to create your application development team by sending out invitations to members. Team members can then be viewed and managed in a summary listing.

Invite Team Members

The Invite More function allows you to send invitations to individuals that you would like to be part of your application development team.

• Existing team members are displayed in a summary listing.
• When an invitation is sent a "Team Invite" request email is issued.
• The invitee receives an invite on their Dashboard page. If the invitee is not a member, they must sign up using the same email address that the invitation is addressed to in order to accept the invitation via their Dashboard.
• See How do I create a development team?

View Team Members

When a team member invitation is submitted, the username, email address, and invitation status (i.e., Email Sent, Approved, or Rejected) of the invitee is added to the Team Summary.

Manage Team Members

Team members can remove a Team Member from the listing.
