Setting up your workspace

Time periods, reminders, members, teams and terminology, one job per page.

  • Set up check-in reminders

    Choose when Brev reminds your team to check in, and whether reminders go by email, Slack or Microsoft Teams.

  • Create a time period

    Add a quarter, half, year, month or custom date range that goals can be planned in.

  • Roll over to a new time period

    At the end of a quarter or year, set the next period as Current so new goals, Check in and views move to it.

  • What the Current time period does

    Which time periods are Current decides the default period for new goals, which goals Check in lists, and what views show by default.

  • Plan goals longer than a year

    Use a Custom time period to give a goal any start and end date, such as a three-year plan.

  • Rename goals to OKRs, objectives or rocks

    Use Terminology to call goals, metrics and projects by your own names, such as Objectives and Key Results, across the whole workspace.

  • Manage your workspace's tags

    Create, rename, recolor and delete the tags your team puts on goals and actions.

  • Turn on the daily briefing and weekly digest

    Send each person a weekday morning briefing and a Monday digest of last week, in Slack or Microsoft Teams.

  • Turn AI capabilities on or off

    Choose which AI features your workspace uses: suggested check-ins, goal insights, the goal coach, AI summaries and prompt recipes.

  • Turn on advanced goal features

    Turn on goal weights, multiple alignment, co-owners, private goals, milestones, tags and other goal features for your workspace.

  • Invite people to your workspace

    Invite teammates by email, pick their role and team, and resend invitations that weren't accepted.

  • Add people before they join

    Add someone without an invitation email, so you can make them a goal owner before they sign in.

  • Change a member's role

    Make someone an Org Admin, Member, Observer or Guest, or transfer ownership of the workspace.

  • Deactivate or reactivate a member

    Remove someone's access when they leave, keep their history, and restore it later if needed.

  • Create a team

    Add a team with an owner and optional parent team, so its goals and view group together.

  • Put a team under another team

    Nest sub-teams under a parent team so your workspace mirrors your org structure.

  • Make someone a Team Admin or team owner

    Change a person's role in a team, or hand the team to a new owner.

  • Fill in your company profile

    Tell Brev about your company, its industry, size and description, so its AI writes more relevant suggestions and recaps.
