Make a topic visible to a work team

A work team is a group of users who have an interest in a set of topics. When a topic is made visible to a work team, the members of that team can view the topic and any actions defined for it.

The topic and its individual actions can also be assigned to different members of the work team. Users with appropriate work team permissions can then edit the topic or action in addition to viewing it.

  1. In the left navigation pane, click the Topic Management icon (Topic Management icon).
  2. Click the topic's Row Action menu icon (Row Action menu icon), and then click Edit.
  3. On the Edit Topic page, select General Information from the left menu.
  4. Next to the Visible to work team field, click Browse.

    The Browse Work Teams dialog box appears and provides information about each work team for which you have the edit topics/actions permission, in a table that might include these standard columns:

    Column Description

    Name

    The name of the work team.

    Description

    Descriptive text about the work team.

    Login Group

    The name of the login group. Each work team is a subset of a login group.

    All Users

    Yes, if all users in the login group are members of the work team.

    No, if users have been individually added to the work team.

    Users

    The full name and Oracle Empirica Signal username of each member of the work team.

    Blank, if all users in the login group are members of the work team.

    The table may also include columns for custom fields added by your organization.

  5. If the topic is configured for only one work team, you can select the row for the work team and click OK.

    Note:

    Changing work team property settings impacts future adding and editing of topic and actions and topic templates only. For example: A topic is visible to and assigned to a work team. Subsequently, the Allow topic visibility and Allow assignment of topics and actions properties are unchecked for the work team. You can continue to edit and save the topic. However, once you select a different value for either the Visible to work team(s) or Assigned to fields, the work team is no longer available.
