# Team swimlane

Use the Team swimlane view to see each team's work on its own lane along the timeline.

The Team swimlane view gives each team its own lane on the timeline. It answers a simple question: what is each team doing, and when? Use it to check a subcontractor's workload, spot overlaps within one team, or walk through the plan team by team in a site meeting.

## Before you start

Creating the view needs the **Schedule**, **Site** or **Account admin** right. Once it is shared, anyone it is shared with can open it as a tab. See [Sharing views and locking settings](https://support.sitedrive.com/en/kb/sharing-views).

## Create a Team swimlane view

1.  Click **+** (**View selection and management**) in the header.
2.  Click **New view** → **Grouped Gantt** ›.
3.  Click **Team swimlane**.

The view opens in a new tab.

## Read the view

-   Each row is one team, for example _Electrical_ or _Painting & Flooring_.
-   Time runs from left to right.
-   Each bar is a work package in one area, placed on its team's lane. The area is kept, so you can still see where the team is working.
-   Bars always use the team's colour.

## Good to know

-   Custom colours set with **Set color** are not shown here; the team colour always wins.
-   Changing a work package's team moves it to the other team's lane.
-   Location breakdowns don't apply to this view.
-   By default, a team's bars sit on one row so the lane stays compact.
