ConcourseSOP Hub

Purpose and scope

This SOP establishes guidelines for using the Concourse Team Availability Tracker, an internal tool designed to give the team and team lead real-time visibility into who is available, what each person is working on, and when someone will be out of office. Because all Concourse bids are time-sensitive, this tool is critical for ensuring proper coverage and preventing missed deadlines.

This SOP applies to all Concourse review team members. Every team member is required to register, maintain their status, and log OOO dates in advance.

Updating your status

When to update

  • At the start of every shift: set yourself to Available
  • When you go on break: set to On Break
  • When you enter a meeting: set to In a Meeting
  • When you finish your shift: set to Off
  • When you are out of office: set to OOO (or log it in advance via the OOO Schedule tab)

Status options

StatusMeaning
AvailableYou are active and available to take on tasks or support the team.
In a MeetingYou are currently in a meeting and temporarily unavailable.
On BreakYou are on a short break and will return shortly.
OffYou have finished your shift for the day.
OOOYou are out of office for the day or multiple days.

Current task (optional)

When updating your status, you may also select your current task from the dropdown: Kirkland/BidPortal, or Email Triage/Finding Documents. This helps the team lead see what each person is working on at any given time.

Important Update your status every time it changes. This only takes a few seconds and makes a significant difference for the team's coordination, especially on high-priority bid deadlines.

Team board

The Team Board tab shows the full team's current status in real time. It updates automatically every few seconds; no manual refresh needed. The board displays:

  • Each team member's name and current status (color-coded badge)
  • Current task they are working on
  • Duration: how long they have been in their current status
  • Timestamp of their last update in Eastern Time (ET)
  • Summary counts at the top showing how many people are Available, In a Meeting, On Break, Off, and OOO

OOO schedule

All Concourse bids are time-sensitive. If a team member is out and coverage has not been arranged, a bid deadline can be missed. The OOO Schedule tab exists specifically to prevent this. By logging OOO dates in advance, Aya can plan task coverage ahead of time and ensure no gaps in bid reviews.

Required You are required to log any planned absence at least 24 hours in advance whenever possible. This includes vacation days, personal days, appointments, or any other day you will not be available for your full shift.

How to log an OOO request

  1. Click the OOO Schedule tab.
  2. Enter your display name.
  3. Select your start and end date.
  4. Add a reason (optional, example: Vacation, Personal Leave, Doctor Appointment).
  5. Click Submit OOO Request.

Aya will receive an email notification automatically. The tracker will also automatically set your status to OOO on the scheduled date; you do not need to do anything extra on that day.

Viewing scheduled OOO

All submitted OOO requests are listed below the form with their status: Upcoming, Active, or Past. Active OOO entries cannot be deleted. Past entries can be removed to keep the list clean.

Daily summary

The Daily Summary tab provides a log of each team member's activity for a selected date. It shows:

  • First In: the time they first set their status to Available
  • Last Off: the time they last set their status to Off
  • Hours Worked: calculated from First In to Last Off (shows as ongoing if still active)
  • Breaks: total number of times they set their status to On Break
  • OOO: whether they were marked OOO that day

A This Week view is also available showing total hours, days active, total breaks, and OOO days for the current week.
