This article covers how status indicators appear in Teamworks AMS when accessed via a web browser. For information on configuring status indicators, please see our tutorial on Monitoring Availability on AMS.
Status indicators are colored highlights used to show a person's status. The information used to indicate status will differ from one AMS system to another. If you work within a sports team, status might be based on availability to play or train. In this case, the different statuses might be Unavailable, Available for modified training and Available to play. The coloring used for each status is determined by a performance standard.
Status indicators are visible in the sidebars and when you're using the athlete selection screen for data entry.
Depending on how your organization needs to use status indicators, preference can be given to the most recent status or the worst status. For example, if status is based on current injuries, possible statuses might be Unavailable, Modified and Available. When an athlete has more than one injury, it can be useful to see the status of the worst injury rather than the most recent injury.
In the screenshot below, we've chosen to enter data for a single player. On the athlete selection screen, we can see the status of all players in the group. To see which information a status color represents, we can hover over a specific player to see their status.
When the athlete sidebar is visible, the status indicator appears as a colored dot next to the athlete's account picture.
If you're using the AMS web application and your permissions include the ability to use the main sidebar, you'll see status indicators there, as in our screenshots here. This example shows how each athlete has a status indicator when they appear in the sidebar list.
When a specific athlete is selected, it's possible to trace the status indicator through the event form categories to the specific record where the athlete's state is recorded. For example, we can see in the screenshot below that Jamie Anderson's Limited status originates from the most recent Daily Diary record.
