Welcome to DTS

We are so happy to have you here. Let's configure some tools and ensure you have access to all the resources needed to hit the ground running. 💪👟⚡

Day 1 🐣

These are the high-priority tasks. Let your supervisor know if you are unable to complete any of them on your first day.

• Log in to your City of Austin email.

• Install the Microsoft Authenticator app on your phone. Moving forward, you should only log in to City of Austin Microsoft services via 2-factor authentication.

• You should have a 1Password invitation in your email. If not, email/Slack Diana to request one and then accept the invitation. Diana or Amenity will then confirm your account. Then follow this guide to set up 1Password for use on your City computer and any mobile devices you use for work.

All your passwords relating to work should be stored 1Password and only in 1Password.

• If you don't have one already, create a Github account with your CoA email and then ask Amenity or Frank to add you to the City of Austin Transportation Github Team.

• Enable two-factor authentication for your Github account.

• Install Slack desktop client — Windows | Mac.

• Set up your email signature.

• Update your Slack profile with a photo and your title.

• Post your daily standup in Slack.

• Create a Google account for your austintexas.gov email address and verify that you have access to the DTS Google Drive.

Week 1 🐥

Let your supervisor know if you are unable to finish any of these during your first week.

• Set yourself up for remote work.

• Set up Cameron Road printer.

• Set up docking station — Windows | Mac. (See here if you're having issues on Mac. If you have an M1, grant screen recording permissions as detailed here.)

• Upload a headshot here and notify your supervisor so they can add you to the DTS orientation deck.

• Install Zenhub Browser Extension.

• Create a Github issue to add yourself to the DTS "About Us" webpage: - Title: Add [First name] [First initial of last name] to DTS website - Labels: Service: Dev, Type: Communications, Product: DTS Website - Assignee: Chia Berry - Include: - Link to your photo in Google Drive - Full preferred name - Title - Preferred pronouns

• Unless you are a contractor, email Adan S. to request a paper timesheet.

• Open a service request with Communications and Technology Management (CTM, the City's internal enterprise IT department) to request a Miro account. When you receive confirmation that your account has been created, notify your supervisor so that they can add you to Austin Transportation and Public Works team.

• Familiarize yourself with the DTS Resource Index and our document storage policies.

Week 3 🐓

Unless you are a contractor, you have a few last to-dos! The HR and DTS Portals are updated every 2 weeks with employee information from the City's enterprise HR system, so wait until week 3 for these ones.

• Complete the Telework Request Form.

• Record any City hardware you have in the Take-Home Equipment Tracker.
