| 23:20 | | * Reiver hunts about for Teams expertise, suspects this is Mahal |
| 23:21 | < Mahal> | Uhoh |
| 23:21 | <&Reiver> | This is 'brainstorming and wondering if Teams is the right place, and I sure hope it is' |
| 23:21 | <&Reiver> | If you're up for it? |
| 23:22 | < Mahal> | I'm in a meeting right now, but brainstorm away and I'll get to you shortly :P |
| 23:22 | <&Reiver> | cool cool |
| 23:23 | <&Reiver> | We have seven non-production environments. (I know, I know.) These get blagged by various projects for varying lengths of time, in which they then 'own' the server; being able to faff about with the data and schedule refreshes (restoring to latest version of Production data and config) and generally having First Say on what happens in the environment. |
| 23:25 | <&Reiver> | Sometimes someone will need a non-prod environment for an ancillary use real quick to test something, double check something, etc; Part of my job is looking at who is doing what in where, then having the folks often end up going to the present 'owner' to check it's cool that there's double-faff going on in the same environment etc |
| 23:25 | <&Reiver> | All to the good... except this is a wee tad challenging to keep track of Who is Where and for How Long |
| 23:25 | <&Reiver> | The old solution was an excel spreadsheet made to look like a calendar and printed on the wall. Obviously not perfect. |
| 23:26 | <&Reiver> | I am proposing we have a calendar, or possibly suite of calendars, to keep track of Who is Where and for How Long, and then the extra bonus with a Teams group thus meaning that it's easier to spam folks with "Is anyone using RUA at the moment that we're not aware of? We're planning to XYZ it next week unless someone speaks up" kind of games. |
| 23:27 | <&Reiver> | Is Teams a decent fit for this? I know little of the calendar functionality, but it seems a tad cleaner than just half a dozen Outlook group calendars and a bunch of email chains >_> |
| 23:28 | < Mahal> | In this context Teams = Sharepoint calendars, and yes, they work fine. |
| 23:28 | < Mahal> | pin the tabs to the Team of the assorted calendars and away you go. |
| 23:32 | <&Reiver> | So this would be one Team with 7 calendars attached to it? Or one calendar? or |
| 23:32 | <&Reiver> | I confess I know precisely squat about Sharepoint |
| 23:32 | < Mahal> | Hold this thought until I'm not actively meeting |
| 23:32 | <&Reiver> | np, no rush |
| 23:36 | < Mahal> | okay, so |
| 23:41 | < Mahal> | https://saranyansenthivel.medium.com/creating-a-shared-calendar-in-microsoft-teams-400ab556bfa3 |
| 23:43 | < Mahal> | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Ud3miFtV/image.png |
| 23:44 | < Mahal> | I can't find the actual image I'm looking for so I'm going to DIY my own |
| 23:44 | < Mahal> | hold the phone |
| 23:49 | < Mahal> | Anyway, once you have your Team, you can go to [whatever] channel you want to use for this |
| 23:49 | < Mahal> | add a tab |
| 23:49 | < Mahal> | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/eLaDjPH6/image.png |
| 23:49 | < Mahal> | select Channel Calendar https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/ZcAjeYcp/image.png |
| 23:50 | < Mahal> | Or, you can set up a Sharepoint List, as a calendar, and insert that as a tab into Teams (and then you can also manage it thru Sharepoint) |
| 23:51 | <&Reiver> | A... Sharepoint List? |
| 23:52 | <&Reiver> | (apologies, I know very little about the system capabilities of this thing, I just use it to phone people at th emoment and am convinced we could leverage it for shinier stuff) |
| 23:52 | < Mahal> | :D |
| 23:52 | < Mahal> | Okay, here's the thing |
| 23:52 | < Mahal> | there's approximately a millionty ways to skin this cat |
| 23:53 | <&Reiver> | Yeah |
| 23:53 | < Mahal> | So, how do you need to manage this? MUST it be with Outlook? who needs access? are there four people or six hundred? |
| 23:53 | < Mahal> | if there's like fifteen of you managing it then fuck, just use a channel calendar in a Team and be done (nb: will NOT be manageable with Outlook, EVER) |
| 23:53 | < Mahal> | (*For now until Microsoft update that, le sigh) |
| 23:55 | < Mahal> | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/TowfsTh2/image.png |
| 23:57 | < Mahal> | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/sRwuXaUu/image.png |
| 23:58 | < Mahal> | (You see them in Outlook but you don't get to edit them :D ) |
| 23:58 | < Mahal> | Anyway, Teams would work fine for this |
| 23:58 | < Mahal> | use a Channel calendar |
| 23:58 | < Mahal> | be done |
| 23:59 | < Mahal> | All the events you create in a channel calendar automatically invite everyone who's a member of the Channel. |
| 23:59 | < Mahal> | so that might not be ideal. |
| 23:59 | < Mahal> | maybe you want a Sharepoint list that's a webpart embedded in a Teams tab instead! |
