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.

Electronic Document Storage and Management (EDMS)

EDMS is not just a means of storing computer files. A full EDMS system allows for the process of importing both paper and computer generated documents into a computer system and indexing the files for easy and swift retrieval. In effect you can dispose of your traditional paper filing system. No more gathering letters, invoices and orders into filing groups and no more slotting them into the correct folders. Of course, you only use a paper filing system because you know you may need that document again in the future. Equally, when you do want that document it's invariably missing, either misfiled, or on someone else's desk. With EDMS documents are where you placed them and they are available for you to use where ever you are. All you need is a computer, tablet or smart phone and an Internet connection.As most modern businesses already use the Internet for everyday interaction with banks, Inland Revenue, Companies House, insurance companies, suppliers and customers it no longer ...

Leadership: So you want to be Powerful?

Throughout my life, in both business and personal spheres I have found that individuals seeking answers invariably look for 'silver bullet' solutions.     In a recent post on LinkedIn a n Influencer wrote that she had been asked the question ' Who is the most powerful person you ever met? '     The question was posed by a 17 year old and the author guessed that the answer being sought was the name of some sort of X-Factor figure, This strikes a cord with me. Throughout my life, in both business and personal spheres I have found that individuals seeking answers invariably look for 'silver bullet' solutions. This applies to all generations, 'Boomer, X-Gen and Millennial, it applies to individuals of all levels of intelligence, and to individuals at all levels of authority.     The desire for someo ne to appear, like a genie from a lamp, wit h either ' the answer' to a problem , or ' the power' to solve the problem, or...

Law and Order: The Anonymous Text Tip-Off

The following article came out of an interview conducted with Max Doleh - Law enforcement organisations and Crime Stopper programs are turning to technology which enables text tip-off from the public to facilitate a police response. In September 2007 Master Sergeant Charles Phillips of the Oklahoma City Police Department published an item on the Oklahoma City Crime Stoppers web site (http://www.okccrimetips.com/ ) calling for increased resources to bring this technology to OKC. In November 2007 it was announced that Crime Stoppers of Oklahoma City have engaged technology company ProductiveT to develop an SMS system that is radically different to others in use in the country. Max Doleh, ProductiveT president and CEO answers questions – 1 . What makes the Oklahoma City system so different? The ProductiveT technology differs greatly from other offerings. The police department have their own dedicated number for receiving the messages and unlike most systems there is no need for the sender...
