Tutorial

The following Tempo Planner video tutorial is valid also for other Tempo products.

Procedure

To add members to a team, complete the following steps:

1. Go to the team configuration page (Tempo > TEAMS more > name of team > Configuration).
   
   
2. In the left column, click Members.
   
   
3. On the Team Members page, do one or both of the following tasks:

• • Add individual team members by filling in the fields in the top row of the Users table and clicking Add.

    Users
    

    The name of the team member. If the team member is a JIRA user, start typing the user's name and select the name from the list. If the team member is not yet a JIRA user, type the user's name.

    Status

    Status is assigned automatically and depends on the joining and leaving dates (see below).

    Active: Current team member
    Inactive: Past or deactivated team member
    Upcoming: Future team member

    Roles

    You can click the field and select a role (for example, designer, developer, or marketing) from the list. The default role is 'Member,' unless a JIRA Administrator changed the default. Only users with JIRA Administrators permission can add new roles to the list. (For information about adding roles, see Adding team members.)

    Availability

    The percentage of the team member’s work time that will be dedicated to this team. For example, a team member that works on two teams might have availability of 50% for this team. The default is 100%.

    Joining

    If the team member plans to join the team at a later date, choose the date on the Joining calendar.

    Leaving

    If the team member plans to leave the team on a known date, choose the date on the Leaving calendar.

    Tip

    You can add a member to the team more than once but for different dates. For example a team member can have one role one month and a different role the following month. The team member is listed only once in the list of all team members. You can view information about the team member for other dates by clicking Edit on the team member's row.

• • Add multiple team members simultaneously by selecting a JIRA group in the top row of the Groups table and clicking Add.

    Tip

    With this method, you cannot set roles, availability, joining dates, or leaving dates for individual team members. You can only add or remove the group as a whole.

What to do next
