Choose the rules
There are many ways to build group proposals. Team’Up brings a wide range of criteria together in one app. With the Pro subscription you can combine all these criteria at once to find a proposal suited to each situation.
Create a quick random mix, without applying any balance or relationship rules.
Keep the total number of stars similar across groups.
Distribute female and male members as evenly as possible.
Favor compatible or workable pairs when those links are useful.
Strongly penalize conflicting pairs within the same group.
Combine people who can help with those who need support.
Use saved groupings to encourage new combinations.
The Free subscription includes random groups and one basic rule at a time, plus a one-time advanced trial. The Pro subscription unlocks positive links, combined and advanced rules, presets and comparison of alternatives.
Read the badges
These marks help you read member details and group summaries. They show the information you enter; the generator uses only the rules you enable.
M means male. It counts when you enable gender balance.
F means female. It counts when you enable gender balance.
A dot shows not specified or other on the web. Neither counts toward the F/M balance.
One to five stars show this member’s capacity in this roster. Capacity balance aims to keep group totals close.
An empty star means no capacity has been assigned yet.
Wants to help: support available, shown as +1.
Average: neutral, shown as 0.
Needs help: requires support, shown as −1.
In a group header, F and M are counts, ★ is the sum of stars, and ↕ is the net willingness (+ / 0 / −).
You can mark a member as absent. They remain on the roster but will not be part of new groupings. When they return, mark them present to include them again without losing their details or connections.
Mark relationships
Open a member in a roster and choose other members of that same roster. Links belong to that roster and may go in one or both directions.
A strong positive pair. Two members marking each other form a mutual match.
A workable pair can collaborate, with a softer positive link than compatible. A mutual link is stronger than a one-way link.
Use for a real conflict that should be avoided if possible. A mutual incompatibility is a stronger conflict.
Outgoing: this member marked the other.
Incoming: the other member marked this one.
Mutual: both members marked each other.
When different links conflict for the same pair, incompatible takes priority over compatible, and compatible takes priority over workable. Positive links require the Pro subscription; incompatibilities are available in the Free subscription.
Review and learn
A generated proposal is a starting point. Review the groups, save the version you want, and return to it whenever the activity is repeated.
Inspect the proposed groups and their balance before saving. Generate again with the same settings. With the Pro subscription you can compare three alternatives and their fit scores.
Save a grouping to keep it in History. Open it in edit mode to rename it or drag members between groups. You can also create a grouping manually.
Find past groupings by roster and date. With the Pro subscription you can record whether a grouping or group worked well, was so-so, or needs adjustment. The “avoid repeated pairs” rule uses past pairings when selected; outcomes remain available for your review.
