O365: Teams Tasking and Work Flow

Tasking and Work Flow

See also - Blogs on Library, List, Linking, Teams and Invoicing

The image shows a SharePoint ASPX page representing a simple CRM added to Teams as a web application site tab.



For increased user focus you can build a list or library view that is filtered for a specific person or group 

Just add a people picker (Person or Group) column to the list or library and name it 'Allocated To'
Create a new view of the list or library 
Filter the new list or library view by 'Allocated to EQ [ME]'
This will filter the list or library to display only those items where the 'Allocated To' field is equal to the logged on user 

Get the URL for the new filtered list from the address bar of the browser and add it to Teams as a web application tab.
The logged on user will see on this page only list items, documents from the library or tasks allocated to them.

Using Groups to make a Work Flow


This can also be used to great effect in handling work flow. A new item (list, library document or task) can be automatically, or manually, assigned to a group by selection of the group in the 'Allocated To' field.


This new item is then visible to all users in that group. When a member of that group opens the item they can change the 'Allocated To' field to their own ID and take ownership of the item. They can then process work related to the item, adding content to the item as required, and when done, allocate it to another group or individual for further work, approval or validation.

The item will be filtered out of the list for the initial user, or the initial users group, but will be available for a member of the next group to claim or amend as required.

Supervisors can have access to an unfiltered list and see all of the items, be able to filter the view to see who has what items of work to hand.

We can show you how, or we can do it for you.

Acquiring Market Share. MD, MD, how does your business grow?

Gaining an increase in market share may become necessary for a number of reasons. You may need to shift focus from one product line to another in the face of a declining market, you may wish to expand to fend off a market place squeeze or you may just be growing towards your planned capacity. Whatever the reason, you will need to form an acquisition strategy. There are three ways to obtain an increase in market share – Earn it. Use competitive trading to buy it. Acquire a competitor. Each of the three approaches bring along its own strategy requirements and its own issues. Selecting the best approach depends entirely on circumstance. Outperform the competition. Earning market share by supplying a better product, better service, better support, better delivery is an honorable way of expanding a customer base. It is steady, progressive and undemanding in that production/purchasing is not subject to stresses caused by sudden up-shifts in supply/delivery. Even so, there are issues. Attaini...

The New Computer Age: Office 365 Vs Google, Dropbox and Others

Differences in Software as a Service ( SaaS ) This is the 21st century, the New Computer Age. Cloud services and SaaS are available for all to use. Word on-line, Excel on-line and Power Point on-line are just such services. They are available to all who want them, they are free, if taken via One Drive Live, and they enable the creation, editing and viewing of Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and PP presentations on ANY device that has a browser installed. This without any need to install software on the device used. The on-line software that is used to create the files is the same on-line software used to view them. There can be no incompatibilities and no missing fonts. Open Document Standards, to which these most office applications conform, requires that any document file should contain the properties of style, layout, font etc. These elements are the property of the document file and will travel with it wherever it is stored or sent. However, issues can still aris...

O365: Mobile Apps - the easy way

 O365: Mobile Apps - the easy way See also -  Other Office 365 Posts Anyone following these posts will now know how easy it is to create data stores in SharePoint for documents and files and for listing data, such as customer details. We've also looked at making this data easily findable, how to flag items for the attention of individuals and teams within the Office 365domain and moving work through the system in a controlled manner. We've also seen how we can access this content when away from the office via mobile apps for Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive. Occasionally the standard apps aren't really convenient and fail to lend themselves to mobile use. I'm thinking here of functions like stock lists, customer contact lists and the like, when the standard app delivers too much detail for a small screen, or where links and buttons are small and difficult to use. For these functions it would be better to deploy an app that is designed for fast, effective use on a mobile. ...
