Hello: everyone, I'm libor, vance, I'm a senior product designer on the ecosystem team and I just want to give everyone a quick demo of how the group level integrations uh work.

A

uh So for this demo uh in this browser here I have three tabs and uh first tab here is uh looking at asada uh the sign integration at the group level. Then I have asana set up here at the subgroup level and then asana set up at the project level, and so right now, I'm gonna pretend that I'm a group level group owner- and I want all projects and subgroups in my uh under my group to have uh the asana integration set up and to use the same api key.

A

So in this example I'll just say, I want the api key to be group. I'll activate the integration hit, save so now I'll get this uh modal uh that to confirm that.

A

I know that basically, hitting save will update the the default settings for all the projects uh that are in my uh all, the projects and subgroups that are within my group uh and an important thing to to note here is that any projects uh that may have uh uh that may have you that may be trying to use their custom settings will not be affected here so and I'll get to that in a little bit later in this demo.

A

So for now I'm just gonna hit save and uh so now that I've saved that I could go to my subgroup level here and I'll see that there's this new section in this integration that says default settings are being inherited from the group level, and I have this option to change the where the settings are inherited from so in this case, I could change it to custom.

A

If I wanted to change that, but right now you could all see that uh that the the group setting uh has been uh propagated down to the subgroup level and then, if I go to my project level, uh I'll see the similar view here and then I also have this api key. That's by default. uh Disabled and I can't change that unless I uh change my uh the change, the selector to use uh my custom settings, so I could just give that a test right now.

A

So, let's say again, I'm I'm a group group owner and I want to update this setting I'll just say: set it to one, for example, hit save.

A

And then now, if I go back to my subgroup and refresh I'll, see that that setting has been updated here and then, similarly to my project view, if I refresh I'll see that that setting has changed uh so now going back to that message that we've saw in the modal previously that that projects with custom settings will not be updated.

A

So let's say now: I'm a project level owner and I these settings are not working for me uh that are being set at the group level. So I'm going to go change this to custom settings and I'll just say I'll. Just call this. My project and I'll hit save.

A

So that's been saved now and uh so now, if I go back to my group level, integration and, let's just say I'll change this to two and hit save so this is where uh this line comes into play.

A

Basically, hitting save now will update all the subgroups and projects within my group that are that have already been sharing the same settings and have already been inherited the same same settings and it will not affect uh subgroups and projects that have chosen to use their own custom settings so I'll hit save here and then again. If I go back to my subgroup here and refresh I'll see that my subgroup has already been using is using the new group level settings.

A

But if I go back to my project level and hit refresh, my project is still set to use custom settings. So those settings have not been overwritten.

A

That's pretty much it. I hope everyone likes this, this new feature. If you have any questions, uh I encourage you please to visit our documentation and or on the integration. Just click. This learn more link to to read up on anything that I might have not covered here. Thank you very much. Bye.
