Working with Tempo teams makes it easier to collectively manage the work done by a group of people, and teams need Team Leads. Being a Tempo Team Lead gives you permissions to view team members' worklogs, plan time for team members (if you have Tempo Planner installed), and submit and approve team members' timesheets. 

Excerpt

You can follow these tutorials for examples of working with teams as a team lead: Managing a team using Tempo for Serverand /wiki/spaces/DRAFTTIMESHEETSDC/pages/244187212Managing shared resources using Tempo for Server.

 

To watch videos showing these workflows, see the Managing Your Team and Managing Shared Resources playlists on Tempo's YouTube channel.

...

The first step to working with teams is to create one, and to do this you need the Tempo Team Administrator permission from your Jira administrator.

If you need to manage the plans and work done by your team, but not create or delete teams, you only need to be a member of a Permission Role with the Manage Team permission for that team.

titleBulk Adding Members to a Team

You can add Jira groups to a team. The groups will be added as a single entity so you cannot define each member's role, commitment, or joining and leaving dates. 

  1. In the Teams view, select the team to which you want to add the Jira group.

  2. In the team overview, click Bulk Add Members at the bottom.

  3. Start typing the name of the user group you want to add to the team, and select it from the matching results.

  4. When you have selected all the groups you want to add to the team, click Next.

  5. The dialog box will show how many users will be added to the team. Click Confirm to add these members to the team.

...

  • As a Team Lead, you have permissions to view, manage, and approve all plans and worklogs, and also to manage the team. 

  • By default, Members don't have any team permissions - for example, they can’t view the worklogs of their teammates. You probably don't want all team members to be able to view each other's worklogs or plan time for each other, but giving them permissions to View Team Plans lets them see the work that is planned for or by their teammates. 

...

Permission Role is a powerful and flexible tool for giving specific permissions to certain team members or other non-members. For example, you can give more or all permissions to a senior team member so that they're like a Team Lead. You can also add a Jira user group to a Permission Group, such as giving a group of other Team Leads permissions to View Team Plans.

...

From your Team Overview (click your team's name in the Teams view), you can link your team to Jira projects on which they're working. This makes your team available in Jira searches and filters. You can also link to Jira boards to help with project and issue management.

Linking projects and issues to your team also lets you plan time for your team members inTempo Planner – see below.

Before you can plan with issues from these projects, you need to link your team to these issues:

  1. Make sure that the Tempo Team Custom Field is visible in your Jira screens.

Planning Time for Team Members

...

titleCreating Plans Using the Issues Suggestion Panel

 

To create plans using the issue suggestions sidebar in Tempo Planner, you need the View Team Plans and Manage Team Plans for the team you are planning for:

  1. Select Planning (blue star) in the Tempo sidebar.

  2. Click Team, at the top-right and make sure Timeline is selected.

  3. Click 

     and select which category of issues to view. You can also view the issues tied to a specific Jira Filter.

  4. Drag an issue from the sidebar and drop it onto the timeline. The amount of time in the Remaining estimate is used to calculate the amount of time scheduled for the plan.

  5. To edit the amount of time scheduled, click on the issue in the timeline. The Plan details sidebar will show all of the information from the planned task. Scroll down to Planned time and click on the estimate to change it.

...

As Team Lead, you can view your whole team's timesheet from the Timesheet view in Teams (blue star) . This is a handy way to see all team members' work at a glance, and you can filter the data by User, Project, Issue, etc.

...

After team members have logged time, they must submit their timesheet for approval at the end of the current period. If they select you as the Reviewer, you'll get a notification of the submission. You can then approve or reject their timesheets from the Approval view in Teams (blue star) .

A powerful thing about reports is that you can save them. This lets you create your own templates using all the filters and data that you set up. Then the next time you want to run that report, it's just one click in the Saved Reports section in the Reports overview..
