Planner Tasks Blocking My Outlook Calendar - How to Change to “Free”?
I’ve synced my Microsoft Planner tasks with my Outlook calendar, but now they’re showing as “Busy” and blocking my availability. Is there an easy way to change these events to “Free” so they don’t interfere with my work calendar? Thanks!
Option for %complete of a task to change based on items completed in a checklist
Hi, I want the %complete of a task to change based on items completed in a checklist. Currently it uses a combination of hours and the start/end date, but I would like the %complete to also reflect the number of items that are completed in a checklist. For example, if a checklist of 8 items has 2 items done, the percent complete would be 25%. Is this possible? Or could this feature be added. I know there is a work around to use power automate, however, I encountered issues with pulling planner premium tasks into power automate. ThanksSubtasks - What level is needed?
My company is looking into utilizing our Planner so that multiple people have access to the same plan, but for the team to create subtasks we have to purchase premium plans. What level (1, 3 or 5) is needed to create a subtask? The breakdown found https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/planner/microsoft-planner-plans-and-pricing does not specify subtasks.
Planner Integration with Loop Tasks
Need some guidance - We are starting to use Planner to keep track of a large number of tasks. Currently planner is setup with: Approx 10 buckets (in kanban view), and a list of tasks below each. We are using this mainly just for tasks, so the Timeline view isn't needed. We want to connect tasks recorded in Teams meetings, and in Loop to our main Planner. Whats the best work around for this? When using Loop, and we create a task and we connect it to Planner, it will create a new Plan and put the tasks under that. To me, this is dysfunctional, because we want all tasks to be under the main Plan in Planner. I like to use the GRID view of the Plan, which enables me to make subtasks under the main tasks, but others prefer to use the kanban view. However you can't see the subtasks that are under the "main task" like in Grid view. There's lots of videos showing how these parts of Teams work together, but in reality, it doesn't really work that well when it scatters tasks created in different parts to different Planners. Any suggestions would be helpful, and thank you in advance for your help. JimMS Planner board doesn't follow my regional date format
The dates at the Board of my MS planner appear in the US format, e.g. the 25th of July appears as 07/25. This is very confusing in the european environment. I have tried to changed that. I went to https://myaccount.microsoft.com/settingsandprivacy/language and I set the regional date format to 25/07. Unfortunately the board still shows the dates in the US format. Any idea how to fix that?
Conversations in new planner - did anyone get it to work?
Hi In the new planner premium version, have anyone got the conversation field to work within a task ? The link you find there now links to MS forum "Use the Project or Roadmap app in Teams" but is is for the old ms projects and to "add this plan to a channel" is now working at all. The old planner, not premium, had the conversation field working fine...Planner Premium <% complete> calculation is strange
Hi, I encountered a strange behavior of the <% complete> field in the premium planner when you change the <duration> and/or <effort> fields after you started a task, e.g. Set <start date>=today, <duration>=20 days, <effort>=40hours, <% complete>=50% Then change <duration> and <effort> to accommodate for unexpected delay/scope extension Doing this, you will end up with a completely broken <% complete> value as shown in the image below. It seems that the <duration> field is somehow integrated in the calculation of <% complete>, which I feel is odd. Happy to get some feedback LasseThe Plan is missing or deleted
We are seeing an error on newly created groups when folks try to access the associated Planner board. Scenario, a group is created from Outlook. User goes to Planner, All Plans and sees the new Group/Plan. When they click on the Plan they get the following error message. Is this a bug? Are others experiencing this? We also are seeing this error for groups provisioned through the graph.New planner doesn't show a "schedule" view of tasks assigned to me from different plans
The new version of web-based Planner was enabled for me a few days ago, on November 17th. Apparently, I realized that one of the features I used is missing. At the "My Tasks" view, in the old version of Planner, one could choose to have different views, apart from the grid view. The most useful one for me was the "schedule" view, since I could see in one calendar, all assigned tasks from different plans/teams/projects. This functionality now seems to have been removed, and one can only see one separate schedule per plan.Turning off Planner Notifications for everyone when a new Planner is created
Hello, It seems that I accidently notified everyone in my Team when I create a premium Planner. How can I turn this off so I only notify users when a task is assigned to them. I see the ability to turn off notifications in Settings> Planner Notification "Email me when someone adds me to a Premium plan or Portfolio" but I want to do this for everyone in my "Team" I don't want to spam everyone when a new Planner is created. Does anyone know where I can do this?
