P

People (or End-Users)- The individuals that you manage within Lineup. They can be volunteers for your committees, subject matter experts and item writers for your workshops, or employees for your work groups. This group of people, or end-user, will only access Lineup via a team, evaluation, or application invitation.

Person Fields - Custom fields on an individual's profile. Also known as custom demographics, metadata, or custom attributes.

Teams, Active - Teams that are either currently in progress, that you're planning for, or that have recently concluded. The number of active teams that a person is on is displayed next to their name.

Teams, Archived - Teams that are inactive. Their details are locked and you cannot add or remove people from them anymore.

Team Fields - Custom data points that relate to a team that's been created in Lineup. For example, you could use Team Fields to track a committee's fiscal year, the type of panel, or whether a workshop was in-person or virtual.
