Working Members widget

When you are working on an important task that requires concentration, or having a meeting, you probably don't want to be disturbed or be interrupted. This is the same for other team members in your team.

Working Member widgets enables you to report what you are working on at this moment. Team members can check the widget and know who are working on what. It is highly recommended that team member checks what someone is doing before contacting him or her, to prevent unnecessary disturbance.

The Working Member widget

When I start processing a Resource...

When you start to process a Resource in A3 Platform (Activity/Issue/Testing), do remember to click the Start Working button in the page of the Resource. Once you have done this, the name of the Resource will appear in Working Members widgets of your teammates' Home page, representing what you are doing. When finish, click Stop Working in the same Resource page to remove the Resource name from widget so that your teammates can know that you are available now.

Start working on an Activity

When you move on to another Resource, you do not need to click Stop Working on the current Resource before moving on to the next one. When you click the Start Working button, the Resource that you start to work will overwrite the previous one. In other words, the Working Members widget will replace the name of Resource with the new Resource.

Note that when you assign a Resource to someone else, or when you clicked Complete (for Activity) or Fixed (for Issue) the widget will no longer show that you are working on that Resource.

When I am going to work beyond A3 Platform

Sometimes, you may be working on work that is not tracked by A3 Platform. For example, someone has just rang you and you are going to be occupied for an hour for the conversation. When you want to tell others that you are working on a task that is not tracked by A3 Platform, click the Working on button at the top of the Working Members widget.

To tell others what I am going to work on

Then, enter a short description of what you are doing. Click on the priority icon to set the importance of your work. Click Start Working. Note that the browsing window/tab will be locked once you have clicked Start Working. When you have completed the task, click Stop Working and then the window/tab will be unlocked.
