This September brings bug fixes, accessibility improvements, and labels in Grid view for the Planner app for Microsoft Teams. We’ve been listening to your feedback and hope these latest features that will make managing your tasks even easier. Also, check out our recent AMA to learn more about what's coming next for the new Planner!
Labels column now in Grid view
Organize and categorize your tasks more efficiently using the labels column in your basic plans’ Grid view. We’ve commonly heard this feature request from customers and hope this feature makes it easier for you to track progress and manage your projects. Try it out by navigating to Grid view for any basic plan and selecting “Add label” for any task in the Labels column. You can edit the name of the label by selecting the label on the task, and filter by label to get a more granular view of your plan.
Improvements to plan accessibility
We are committed to making Planner accessible to everyone. This update includes several improvements as we work towards that vision:
- Corrected instruction for the label menu in the task details page: We've made it easier to understand and use the label menu, ensuring that everyone can effectively categorize their tasks.
- Edit key dates associated with a task using a keyboard: You can now edit start and due dates using your keyboard, making it more convenient for users who prefer keyboard navigation.
- Narrator now correctly reads selected values for task’s priority and progress fields
Bug fixes to My Day
We've also addressed some bugs to improve your experience with the My Day page in the Planner app. With this latest set of updates, you can expect To Do tasks due today and newly created tasks to show up correctly on My Day.
