Tasking and Work Flow

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.

O365: SharePoint Searching in Office 365 and Teams

 O365: SharePoint Searching in Office 365 and Teams See also -  Other Office 365 Posts Earlier posts have discussed the huge advantages of centralising documents, files and communications in SharePoint and Office 365. One of the strongest functions in Office 365 is the ability to search all content so that locating data is easy. However, the search tools in Office 365 are not always obvious. Teams Search Teams is becoming really popular, not least due to the fact that it makes SharePoint very easy to deploy, use and control. At the top of each Teams General Tab is a search box This is multi function. Type / into the box and you will see a list of commands that will perform all sorts of Teams functions    The /Files option will return files you have recently accessed. Great, if the file or document you are looking for is actually in the recent file list. What if the information you require is in an older file, or in a different location? Location Search Also in Teams ...

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. ...

O365: Getting the best out of SharePoint

O365: Getting the best out of SharePoint See also - Libraries , Lists , Linking List and Library Simplicity Anyone who has read my earlier posts on creating, populating and joining data containers like Libraries and Lists in Office 365 SharePoint will know how simple it is. Giving a little thought to what data or information you want to keep and what you will use it for in the future is the hard part. Once you have that, building the lists and libraries is as easy as creating a spreadsheet.  But, a SharePoint list or library is far more flexible and effective than a spreadsheet can ever be. Shadow IT This is the name given by IT departments to the practice of hiving off chunks of corporate data into silo data stores controlled and maintained by individuals. A mobile phone contacts list is a great example. The same data might be held in a dozen or more separate phones and the data might never be synchronised. Personal spreadsheet lists can fall into the same category. Data from any ...
