Complete this checklist before leaving the office and heading to your remote work location.
| Gather your equipment | Pack your TAMUS laptop and the power cord.
Check this list of equipment and tools you should consider when moving your TAMUS laptop to a remote work location. Use reasonable precautions when transporting delicate electronics. |
|
| Know your full computer password | Make sure you know your username and full password. You can’t use your PIN on remote applications or on a personal computer.
You will use your computer username and password when using the collaboration and remote access tools. Login to each of the collaboration tools before you leave the office to make sure you can login and your access is configured correctly. Contact helpdesk@tamus.edu with questions. |
|
| Check your electronic files | Verify that your computer files are backed-up and synced in Syncplicity. | |
| Gather your paper files | Gather paper files, binders or hard-copies of documentation you need. Keep them protected and secure while working remotely. | |
| Check your office phone voice mail settings | Check that your voice mail is going to your Outlook Inbox (this is the default). Call your office phone and leave a message; if it comes to your Inbox you are good to go!
If you want to answer your calls as they come in, forward your calls to your mobile or landline phone (optional).
