Add Task Progress percentage through Power automate
Hi I am using Microsoft planner basic within teams app which gives only option of progress as not started / in progress / completed. My team needs detailed percentage of progress for which i wish to create a power automate flow to find out the actual percentage of progress happening in each task based on the checklists count and comment count. Can some one throw light on how to do this workflow in power automate? any links appreciated.
Planner Actions
I used to use project for the web for high-level project plans and planner for actions, but as Project is now embedded within Planner, it means anytime I just want an action that should not be on the project plan appears on the project plan if its done in planner. How can I fix this, or how is actions now managed?Planner for Actions
Hi I used to use project for the web for project plans and planner for individual actions that are more detailed and would not be on high-level project plans. Whereas now that Planner has replaced project, any time I want to add just actions, is it adding to the overall grid timeline view which I do not want. Is there something I am missing or is actions now handled somewhere else?
Transitioning to Microsoft Planner and retiring Microsoft Project for the web - Dataverse Data
Hi, I have received some inquiries from my customers who are using Microsoft Project for the Web and integrating it with Dataverse through Power Automate. They are applying updates directly to Dataverse records via automated flows. Could you please clarify whether this transitioning has any impact on how the information is stored or managed in Dataverse? Thank you very much for your support. Best regards, José Arancibia
Way to see all Planner tasks assigned to a team member?
Is there a way to see all project tasks assigned to a team member? Or is this functionality on the radar? I can see all my assigned tasks, and I can see tasks by person by project, but as a manager, I would like a way to see all tasks assigned to my team members across all of their projects/functional areas, so that we can quickly evaluate their current workload, reprioritize and assign new tasks accordingly. What I'm thinking is that there would be a filter option to see buckets by team member of their collective project tasks, like the view currently available right now by individual projects. Interested in the capability to overlay multiple projects. Thanks!Enterprise resource management and allocation in Plan 5
Hi, In the Compare work management offerings page which compare Planner/Project Plans 1, 3 & 5, it states that the Plan 5 includes Enterprise resource management and allocation capability. I'm struggling to locate information what are the specific extra features come with this capability... I have Plan 3 now and since there is no trial version for Plan 5, I'll be glad to get this information before deciding if it worth investing in a Plan 5 license. Can you elaborate what are these features which are unique to Plan 5 in general and specifically to the enterprise resource mgmt part? If possible, also please provide some examples of screenshots. Thanks.
Comment Box on Tasks in Microsoft Planner is not working / responding
I have used both Basic and Premium subscription to create Plan. The comment box in task does not allow me to type anything. It seems inactive. I have created all the plans for groups, So the group members can access it. I have created a task and assigned myself as well as one other person. Surprisingly he can comment through comment box, but I still can not. There are no access rights issues because i am the group owner and teams admin.

Just created what i believe is a highly effective method to ensure Planner Comment Notifications work seamlessly. We're all familiar with the challenge of comments getting overlooked, especially when staff members haven't previously engaged with a particular task. My new Power Automate solution addresses this issue by sending emails (or you can switch to Teams if preferred) to everyone assigned to a task whenever a comment is posted. The email includes the comment itself and a link to the corresponding task. To adhere to best practices, I created the automation in my user account but set it up to automatically send from an admin@ account. This step isn't mandatory but is recommended, especially if you anticipate commenting on numerous tasks yourself as the automation "owner". I've uploaded a brief 20-second video demonstrating the functionality. I'd appreciate likes and comments, and I'm more than willing to share the solution. This automation is part of a larger course/solution package I'm developing. Other upcoming features include automatic assignment of unique project codes (you can catch a glimpse of it in the video), auto-assignment of staff based on labels (for instance, if your yellow label is labeled Marketing, it automatically assigns everyone in marketing when used), and more. I'm eager to hear your thoughts on the comment notification solution; I believe it's one of the most visually appealing solutions available. If want to access the comment notification just @mention me in the comments below.
