The Coworker roster
How the roster works and which Coworkers you can see, depending on each Coworker's phase.
The Coworkers page is your roster. It shows a card for every Coworker you are allowed to see, with its name, phase, role and practice area.
What you can do from the roster#
- Select Chat on a card to start talking to that Coworker.
- Select Details to open its details page. See Coworker details.
- Select Hire a Coworker at the top to start the hiring wizard. This button only appears
if you have the
hire_coworkersability or are an admin. See Hiring a Coworker.
Retired Coworkers are hidden by default. Tick Show retired Coworkers to include them; their cards appear dimmed.
Phases#
Every Coworker is in one of five phases, shown as a badge on its card: Interview, Internship, Apprenticeship, Full-Time or Sunset. A Coworker moves forward one phase at a time (see Advancing a Coworker and retiring it). The phase decides who can see it and chat with it.
Who sees which Coworker#
| Phase | Who can see it and chat with it |
|---|---|
| Interview | Its Supervisor and admins. |
| Internship | Its Supervisor, admins, and the people chosen as that phase's cohort. |
| Apprenticeship | Its Supervisor, admins, and the people chosen as that phase's cohort. |
| Full-Time | Everyone in the company. If a Coworker's access has been limited to certain Teams, only its Supervisor, admins and members of those Teams. |
| Sunset | Everyone can see it, but nobody can chat with it. |
A Coworker you cannot see does not appear on your roster at all. If a Coworker you expected is missing, it may be in an earlier phase, or limited to Teams you are not on. Ask its Supervisor.
A cohort belongs to one phase. When a Coworker moves from Internship to Apprenticeship, the Supervisor chooses the cohort again, so people who should keep access must be included.
Sunset Coworkers#
A retired Coworker keeps its history. Anyone can open its details page to see its lifecycle, reviews and spending, but chatting with it is closed with a message that it is retired.
