Impossible to use the Planner trial
Hello to everyone. We have started the trial version of planner with a new organization account. Everything went good during the registration process and I can see the Planner+Project trial license assigned to me in the admin page. But when I try to sign in i get the following message (we are not ready yet, try later) ...any workaround? Thanks
"We're not ready for you yet" after signing up for Planner Trial
I just signed up for a trial of Planner. Using https://planner.cloud.microsoft I log in using the credentials I used to sign up for the trial. Every time I get the error below. I've tried clearing my Chrome browse cache and I've tried in a different browsers (Firefox and Edge) with the same result. I've consulted Google and found some similar issues reported but none of the suggested fixes works for me. Appreciate any insights and guidance.Microsoft Planner @Mention and Comment Notification in Microsoft Teams - NEW VERSION
Hi Planner Community, Thank you for the overwhelming support for my original post last year on how to @mention someone within the Microsoft Planner community and have a message automatically emailed to them. I'm excited to share that I've completely redesigned and updated the solution to now support the new Microsoft Teams Planner and remove the issues some users found with setting up the solution. Additionally, the notification is now an adaptive card within the Microsoft Teams chat to the user you @mentioned in the Microsoft Planner comment. Screenshot example above shows a comment posted by me in a Microsoft Planner task where I’ve @mentioned David at the end of the message. Screenshot example above shows the comment posted by me in Planner being automatically sent to David (thanks to the @mention in the comment) on Microsoft Teams. Allowing David to reply in either the traditional Planner or new Teams Planner. Attached is a zip file containing the Microsoft Power Automate solution, along with a detailed walkthrough to help you set it up. Enjoy! If you download the solution, all I ask is that you please give this post a thumbs up. Thanks, everyone! Matthew Davis No More Bad Monday
Revert to old Planner?
As of today, the new Planner version has been rolled out for our organisation. MS Planner is pretty much the most important tool for our project management. With the update, we can no longer copy plans without deleting all tags. In our organisation, the tags assign the responsible department to the respective tasks. This makes them extremely important. "Template Plan": Plan after we did a copy&paste: Even the Tags have to be renamed: Is there a way to revert to the old Planner? Is Microsoft aware of this problem? Kind Regards Jonathan
Assigned members do NOT get email notifications
My manager assigned me a new task- I received an email- GOOD Late Tasks- I receive emails- GOOD My manager put some comments after that- I did not receive any email. BUT she received the email. Hampered my work- NOT Working My manager marked Task completed- I did not receive any email. But she received the email.- Not working. Attached are all the permissions given. How can I solve 3 and 4 problems?% Complete - doesn't seem to calculate properly, what am I missing?
I am fiddling with Project for the Web / Premium Planner in an attempt to make YouTube tutorial content. I'm creating tasks, trying to make some sample content, and setting the completed/remaining hours to be partially done to simulate an in-progress project. What I'm noticing is that the %Complete tries to auto-update, but seems to be calculating really oddly? Like it's coming out with 6% complete for 1 hr completed + 1 hr remaining = 2 hr total. Am I misinterpreting what it's trying to do or is it not functioning? When I try to manually set the %Complete to 50% to override, it changes out the hours to be very different and it still doesn't come out right.Planner Comments Notifications Resolved
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.Restricting Edit Permissions in Microsoft Planner
Hello everyone, I'm currently using Microsoft Planner for project management and collaboration within my team. However, I've encountered a challenge and would appreciate some guidance. Is there a way to configure Microsoft Planner so that only specific individuals, such as my manager, have the ability to make changes to the tasks and plans, while others can only view them? Essentially, I'm looking to prevent general team members from altering the plan, while granting full editing rights to my manager. Any tips, tricks, or insights on how to set this up would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance!Planner integration of custom environments
Hi all, We have Planner deployed in a custom environment (using the Microsoft Project Accelerator) and until recently, we couldn't see these plans or tasks in the Microsoft Planner app. I just noticed today that I have now access to these plans in the tab "My plans", but I cannot see the tasks in "My tasks". I tried to find some documentation or announcement about this, but I couldn't find anything. I would like to know if and when the tasks from these plans will be visible in my task list. Anyone knows more about this? Thanks! Sofie
