Updates (in Teams)
Keep all Team members informed about progress, risks, or potential stumbling blocks.
Updates at the Team level
Most tabs in a Timebook Team are designed for displaying and managing work data. However, the [Updates] tab is the Team's central location for exchanging information about progress and potential issues. Updates posted in this tab ensure all Team members stay informed and that information is shared transparently.
Some updates in this tab are generated automatically, marking the creation or modification of common Team resources. That's why you might find information about a Sprint being created or a Work Item being reassigned. But you can also add updates manually to provide your own description of work progress or report a potential problem.
Several Timebook containers, such as Projects or Sprints, have their own [Updates] tab.
Their functionality is almost identical, but they differ in scope—the [Updates] tab in a Team should inform all members about changes or issues that might impact the entire Team's work.
Add a Team update
As explained above, some Team updates are added automatically to highlight key events across the Team, but you can also add your own updates. Adding updates is similar to creating comments on Timebook Pages or in objects like Work Items or Tickets.
To add a Team update:
Go to the [Updates] tab of a Team.
Use the text field at the top to provide your update. You can supplement the description with attachments or mention others to attract their attention.
Press [Send] to confirm. We will publish your update at the top to make it visible to all Team members.
Just like with comments, you can reply to existing updates and build conversation threads.
To reply to an existing comment, hover over the comment and select [Reply] from the available options.
