Team members can set their current status and location using the menu next to their avatar.


​Statuses help clarify availability and, if Time Tracking is enabled, affect how working hours are calculated.

Administrators can manage both statuses and locations under Setup > Schedule & Attendance > Statuses & Locations.

Statuses

Statuses are managed in the Statuses tab.

There are two system-defined status groups that cannot be changed:

  • At work – statuses in this group count toward tracked work time

  • Not at work – statuses in this group do not count as work time

TeamOK provides a set of predefined statuses. Active, At a meeting/call, and Not active are system statuses and cannot be edited or deleted.


Other statuses can be fully customized or removed using their actions menu.

Creating and Editing Statuses

To create a new status, click +Add Status.


To edit an existing one, choose Edit Status from its actions menu.


Both actions open the same form where you can specify:

  • Status name

  • Status group (At work or Not at work).

Only statuses from the At work group count toward tracked working time.

  • Badge color. The badge color assigned to a status provides a quick visual cue about a teammate’s availability - so there's no need to open their profile to check. This is why we recommend to stick to these color interpretations:

◦ Green – available

◦ Orange – temporarily away

◦ Red – busy / not immediately responsive

◦ Grey – inactive / away

Deleting a Status

To delete a status, use the Delete Status option from its actions menu.

Locations

Locations are managed in the Locations tab.

If location tracking is not relevant for your company, you can disable it using the toggle at the top of the tab.

When the locations toggle is on, you can:

  • Review the list of available predefined locations

  • Reorder them via drag-and-drop

  • Enable only the ones relevant to your organization by checking or unchecking them

You can choose among the predefined locations only. Adding or deleting locations is not an option yet.

The predefined locations are:

  • Office

  • Home

  • Client site / Fieldwork

  • Business trip

  • Commuting
