If you are adding the My Status web part to a SharePoint site outside of the In/Out Schedule Board, it must be configured so it can read and update scheduling information from the site’s lists. To do so, use the following procedure to configure the Web Part from the tool pane.
- From the page containing the My Status Web Part, click Site Actions in the upper right corner.
- Click Edit Page.
- From the web part’s top right hand corner menu, select Modify Shared Web Part.
- Enter the URL of the In/Out Schedule Board SharePoint site the web part is to reference in the Enter Site URL field.
- Click Connect.
- Select the Bamboo In and Out Calendar List from the Select List Name drop down list.
- Select EmployeeID from the Select User Name drop down list. This is the column the Web Part will use to determine which items are associated with the user.
- Select Status from the Select Status Column drop down list. This is the column from which the Web Part will determine the user’s status.
- Select all of the status values to associate with “Out” status from the Available Value list, and add them to Value To Out of Office. Any status value included here will be considered “Out” by the My Status web part – anything not included will be considered “In”.
- Select End Time from the Return Date Column.
- Select Comments from the Select Comment Column drop down list. The Web Part will display this column’s information along with the status of the user.
