I wrote this article the other day.
So I was looking forward to being rolled out, but what if it was implemented in the article above? I pasted the screenshot.
▼ This
So, when the shift function icon was displayed on the left navigation bar, I thought it would be good to think that it was rolled out, so I checked it every morning.
However, when I suddenly expanded the navigation bar ... this morning ...
▼ That! There is a "shift" here!
So, it seems that my tenant was rolled out.
It's a shift management function for first-line workers. What is it like? Also, is there any difference from StaffHub, which has been retired due to the addition of this feature to Microsoft Teams?
Let's actually touch it a little.
■ Try adding a shift function to your team
▼ When you click "Shift" in the navigation bar ..., the screen for selecting a team will appear for the first time.
First, select which team you want to add the shift feature to.
▼ When you select a team, you can set the time zone and so on. And when you click "Confirm"
▼ Because it is "confirmation", I thought that it could be made by sandwiching the UI for setting confirmation, but it was already made ...
In this case, I would like you to use the words "create" or "confirm" instead of "confirm". So, it seems that you can skip the explanation even with "Skip", but for the time being, select "Start Tour". (However, in this illustration ... You can see that it is considered variously because it is Microsoft in the world.)
▼ Tour: Addition of users
It is possible to add team members. If you give it a try, users other than team members will also be displayed in the suggestion, but what happens in that case? You're probably adding members to the team itself, but this time we haven't had the time to verify it. I would also like to mention it in an additional article.
▼ Tour: Addition of shifts
The shift manager can decide the shift of the member.
▼ Tour: Creating an empty shift
There seems to be a way to add a free shift and recruit members.
This seems to be the end of the tour. Is it simply that there are three processes?
▼ This screen will be displayed as soon as the tour is over
▼ If there is a tab on the upper left and you click "Information" ... I wonder if this is not necessary so much
Now, how is it different from StaffHub?
▼ I opened StaffHub
Ah, it's almost the same UI. In other words, it feels like a transplant. Or did you do the same with consideration for users who are accustomed to StaffHub? I do not know. For the time being, existing teams created on StaffHub cannot be used from the shift function of Microsoft Teams.
▼ Not available like this
With that feeling, I wasn't used to it for the time being, but I tried to shift appropriately as if I were a manager.
▼ Like this
■ See from the mobile app
Shifts are also available on mobile apps. This is very difficult to understand in terms of UI, but ...
▼ Swipe up around the horizontal bar at the end of the arrow above the menu below
You can tap the horizontal bar, but swiping up is more reliable.
▼ Then the menu will be displayed and tap "Shift"
* This menu can be edited from "Edit" on the upper right.
▼ Tap to open it on StaffHub ...
I made a mistake here. I wonder if the mobile app doesn't support the shift function yet (so I wonder if it's leading to StaffHub).
But there was another confusing UI here. If you tap "Shift" in the middle of the top of this screen
▼ The team list is displayed.
Even more complicated is choosing a team that doesn't have a shift feature added.
▼ This screen will be displayed
It's a little tough for users with many participating teams. I'd like to see only the teams that have the shift function added.
When you open the team with the shift function added with ▼, it looks like this
You can also use it with a mobile app! So, in the above, I made an appropriate shift as if I was a manager from a PC, but as far as I can see this screen, it seems that the shift is not reflected. That's right. Even if the manager makes a shift, it will not be displayed to the members unless it is shared.
■ Share shifts
▼ After inserting the shift, click "Share with team" on the upper right
▼ A dialog is displayed
However, although the dialog was displayed, it seems that the operation from here onward may be lost. This is also a little subtle in terms of UI, but if the display is not so wide, the dialog is cut off and it is hard to notice, but you can scroll in the dialog.
▼ Then there was a "Share" button below
▼ When pressed, the "Share with team" button is grayed out
It seems that it was shared. Let's start with the mobile app.
■ Check shifts from the mobile app
▼ There was no shift a while ago, but this time the shift was displayed
I kept the mobile app open while I was touching it, but it was reflected in real time without reopening or updating the mobile app. Here you will see a list of the shifts you are in.
▼ Tap shift to see details
There is also a function to have the shift replaced.
▼ There is also a request
From here members can request vacations and exchange shifts from here as well.
▼ There is also a screen to check the free shift
Also, I think that the manager will be in charge of presenting shifts. Is it a feeling of presenting a vacant shift to the members? Also, I saw everything as a team administrator this time, but if you look at it with the authority of the members, the UI will change. I won't have time here, so I'll omit it, but I'd like to touch it again when I have time.
So, I don't have a scene where I use the shift function myself, so the priority of catch-up is low, so I just touched it for the time being. I've never heard of a company that originally used StaffHub because it's a feature for first-line workers, and I'm not sure what happens when it's added to Microsoft Teams, but if you have a need, try it. I think it's good.
