How long to we keep our O365 account and Sharing Forms?

How long does my employee email stay after I leave the college, with my access to O365 App’s and OneDrive?

The answer is that as soon as your supervisor/manager notifies HR that you are no longer with TCC, they go into ctcLink and set your account to “Inactive”.  That starts the process of your network account being set to “Disabled”.  Once that happens, your email is no longer accessible by you. If you can’t get into your email, that also means you will no longer have access to any other O365 applications such as OneDrive.   What we recommend is that before you leave TCC. Transfer any of your email you wish to keep to a Personal email and move any files you need in OneDrive to a USB drive.  IT does keep access to your account for 90 days, incase there is an email or file that one of your coworkers may need.

 

How can I give a Form or spreadsheet I created, to a coworker?

The answer for transferring ownership of a form is here in this Microsoft Guide.  If you created an Excel spreadsheet questionnaire, then you can email it as an attachment to a coworker. But we have seen issues arise where the Excel document wants something from the “Owner” of the questionnaire. Which would be you since you created the Excel spreadsheet. In that regard, the only fix is for the coworker to copy the text (Place the curser in A1, hold down Ctrl and press A, to select ALL text in the spreadsheet) and then open a new spreadsheet and paste in the text.
