Microsoft has launched an app that lets manufacturing employees do more of their jobs in Teams. This is the company’s latest attempt to push its collaboration offering for assembly-line workers.
The Updates app allows companies to create forms in Teams for tasks like employee check-ins and maintenance requests. The app includes templates for common types of forms, though managers can also build them from scratch. Managers can choose whether certain items are optional or mandatory; if questions are multiple choice or open-ended; and if they require a worker to add a file, picture or video to complete the form.
