1.2 Customizing Your Personal Workspace

Before Julio take’s advantage of all of the features and functionality of Teaming 2.0, he decides to customize his personal workspace.

  1. In his Web browser, Julio displays the Teaming login page, types the username and password he received during orientation, then clicks OK.

  2. Julio decides to use his first personal blog entry to present his professional credentials to his coworkers.

    1. In the Main Sidebar, Julio clicks his Blog folder, then clicks Add Blog entry.

    2. In the Title field, he types Resume of Julio Chavez.

    3. In the body of the Blog entry, he pastes the most recent section of his resume.

    4. Then Julio decides to attach his full resume, so he clicks Browse, locates his resume on the flash drive containing files he brought to work with him, and attaches it to his Blog entry. This advertises his skills and expertise throughout the company, so that others can take advantage of his education and experience.

    5. Julio clicks OK and sees his first personal Blog entry, then he returns to the homepage of his personal workspace.

  3. Next, Julio decides to help his coworkers get to know him by providing some personal information in his workspace.

    1. Julio clicks the Profile tab and sees that there’s not much there yet, so he clicks Modify profile.

    2. In the Phone field, he types his office phone number, so his coworkers can call him.

    3. In the Time Zone field, he selects his time zone, so his coworkers know what time it is in his local office.

    4. In the Picture field, he clicks Browse, retrieves a personal photo from his flash drive, then clicks OK.

      Now Julio’s new coworkers can see what he looks like, even though he hasn’t met them in person.

  4. Julio greets his new coworkers by making an entry in his MiniBlog. When he clicks OK, the entry is added to his personal workspace so coworkers can see it when they come to visit.

Now that Julio has customized his personal workspace, he wants to help his colleagues leverage the features and functionality of Teaming 2.0. Julio plans to create a team workspace, get informed on team objectives and help team members get informed, explore the various navigation methods available in Teaming, and possibly customize his team workspace and create custom workflows and forms to help respond to the specific needs of the team.
