Team – [college/division]-[deptcode]-[function]

  • The word 'Team –' is fixed and will automatically be inserted at the front (you do not need to add the word 'Team –')
  • [college/division-] for our Division should be 'VPFO-' (note the hyphen on the end)
  • [deptcode-] should be the FAMIS code for your unit (note the hyphen on the end)
  • [function] is something meaningful to describe the team function
