Description

This dashboard displays an overview over the location of your team (office or home office), and also gives an overview on the teams status (available, offline, busy, presenting and so on).

2. Configure and run the client script.
   This dashboard relies on a client script that creates one JSON file for each person you want to display. You need to configure the script with the values for your own Teams environment and then schedule it to run on the Teams server machine.
   Note: To update the JSON file, simply leave the client running, it will update teams status when the logfile changes.
   Client script configuration

   myguid	Enter a random guid
   HomeIP	Enter your home IP
   WorkIP	Enter your office IP
   Name	Name of the person to show on the dashboard
   ProfilePicture	Web path to a profile picture(150x150)
   JsonPath	Central path to store the json file in

   How to import a dashboard pack

   1. Download the dashboard pack zip file for the dashboard pack you wish to import.

      There may be additional steps before or after the import to get the dashboard working in your environment.

   2. In DS for SCOM go to the top right hand menu ☰ > Import Dashboard Packs and drag the zip file into the Manual Import box.
      

      

   3. The dashboard pack is imported and if the pack contains top-level dashboards, these will automatically appear in the navigation bar, usually in a folder called 'Community Dashboards' for dashboard packs from the SquaredUp Community. If the dashboard pack also contains perspectives (see Working with perspectives), then you'll see these when you drilldown to the relevant object.
   4. Carry out any additional steps required to make the dashboard work in your environment. These steps will be described on the download page for each dashboard. For example, you may need to create the correctly named Web API provider, create a PowerShell profile, or edit tile collections.
   5. Edit the imported dashboard as required.
