*Note: To create an ad hoc team, make sure this feature is enabled at the program level during setup or while editing the program.
You can also choose to add yourself to the team by clicking the "Add Myself" button.
*Note: Even if you add yourself to the team, the recognition will not be sent to you.
The team name must be unique, and its availability is verified when you click the checkmark next to the entered name.

The process for creating team awards is the same for both monetary and non-monetary recognitions, as outlined in their respective articles.
Note: When users create ad hoc teams, some inactive members may still appear. These users cannot be removed because they’ve previously received recognition.
During team selection, inactive users are labeled as “inactive.” While they can remain on the team, only active members will receive recognition.
