In Weplanify, the structure sorts employees by team; it is used by records, filters, approval circuits and the org chart.

## Good to know

- The team is then chosen on each [employee record](https://weplanify.io/docs/employes.fiche?lang=en) and serves as a [filter](https://weplanify.io/docs/demarrage.filtres-employes?lang=en).
- A level's manager can approve their team's requests ([circuits](https://weplanify.io/docs/validations.circuit?lang=en)).
- See also the [org chart](https://weplanify.io/docs/employes.organigramme?lang=en) and the [branches](https://weplanify.io/docs/configuration.branches?lang=en), on the same page.
