Using Teams for employee availability dashboard
- AnonymousJun 29, 2023
Hi ys-315 ,
You can create a dashboard in Microsoft Teams for tracking employee statuses.
Create a SharePoint list in SharePoint to track employee statuses, including columns for name, status, and additional information. Set permissions to restrict access to project managers.
Then ,Add the SharePoint list as a tab in your desired Teams channel by selecting "SharePoint" from the "+" icon and choosing the list from your SharePoint site. Configure list views and filters in SharePoint to display only the logged-in user's status. Create additional views for different criteria like availability.
Inform all the employees to update their own status either by accessing the SharePoint list.
By integrating Teams and SharePoint, project managers will be able to access a private dashboard in Teams to view employee statuses.

Appreciate your Kudos! Proud to contribute! 🙂
Thanks! Basically, what I'm after is something that seems like it should be very simple. I want my dashboard/view to be an overview page where all employees are listed, and people can go to quickly see everyone's Teams status in one view.
Edit: What seems to be stumping me is having the presence from Teams display. I have a view created in a way I like, but despite the Person or Group column having 'Name (with presence)' selected in the Show field dropdown, no presence is actually displayed.
Note: The presence status, formerly available with Name (with presence), is not available in modern browsers. Your organization may choose to make presence available by following the steps in Display a classic SharePoint site in Internet Explorer 10 document mode.
