# Teams

As your operations expand, clarity and efficient mission assignment become increasingly important.

The **Teams Feature** helps to reduce complexity when dealing with a large number of concurrent missions. In environments where multiple flight departments, customers, or geographic regions are managed within the same NOVA organization, the mission list can grow quickly and become difficult to navigate.

By assigning missions to teams, each user only sees the missions that are relevant to their specific responsibilities. This keeps the mission overview clean and manageable, avoids unnecessary distractions, and helps ensure that teams stay focused on what matters to them.

NOVA's **Teams Feature** allows you to:

* [Create](#creating-a-team) distinct teams within your organization.
* [Assign](#assigning-a-team-to-a-mission) specific missions to these teams.

This capability significantly improves operational clarity and simplifies the use of NOVA in dynamic environments, whether you have multiple flight operations across different geographies or various use cases.

## Managing Teams in NOVA

To access the Teams management view, open Settings from your user profile in the top-right corner and select **Teams** under the User Management section.

## Assigning a Team to a Mission

Once teams are created, you can assign them to missions either during mission creation int he mission wizard or when editing an existing mission.

### Mission Wizard

When you create a new mission using the [mission wizard](https://docs.unisphere.io/nova/get-started/create-a-new-mission), the team can be assigned in the final step of the setup process. Use the **Team** dropdown to select the appropriate team before completing the wizard.

### Mission Edit Dialog

To assign or update the team on an existing mission:

1. Open the [mission overview](https://docs.unisphere.io/nova/missions/..#nova-mission-overview), select the appropriate mission and click the pencil button.
2. In the **Edit Mission** dialog, select the team you want to assign in the team selector.
3. Save the changes.

## Mission Visibility and Filtering

The mission list in NOVA can be filtered to show only the missions relevant to a user's team. This helps reduce complexity on the missions view, especially in environments with many active missions or shared operations. The filter options are:

* My Missions (default view): Shows all missions assigned to teams where the user is a member.
* Team Views: Shows the missions from one team only. Only teams where the user is a member are selectable.
* Unassigned Missions: Mission that have not been assigned to any team.
* All Missions: All missions in the organisation.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you do not use teams and have no teams assigned to the current user, the "My Missions" filter will fallback to All Missions.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
When a filter is cleared, the view returns to **My Missions**. This ensures users always see a relevant and scoped list by default.
