Issue with Task Conversation
Good morning, I would like to report an issue that has been occurring these days with Teams. We have a subscription to Planner Premium and for each Teams channel, we added a Planner tab associated with a project. From the channel, we enter the Planner tab and within a Task, we insert comments in the Task Conversation; those conversations sometimes get posted in different channels than the one the tab belongs to, but we can't understand the logic behind it.New Microsoft Planner Premium resource
I've started a new blog on Planner Premium which we're rolling out within our department to about 30 people. I'm using it as a way to share and learn so would love people's feedback and corrections since things seem to be changing quite frequently Here's my first 4 posts: Read this before using labels in Microsoft Planner Buckets, Tasks, and Subtasks Oh My! Microsoft Project Professional vs. Planner Premium: a detailed comparison Microsoft Project Professional vs. Planner Premium Thanks in advance for any feedback! Otto
“Add attachment” in Planner no longer allows file uploads
Hello Microsoft Teams Community, We are experiencing a serious issue: the “Add attachment” option in Microsoft Planner tasks no longer offers the ability to upload files. Until recently, we had three options: Upload from computer Attach from Teams/SharePoint files Add a link to a URL Now, only the “Link to a URL” option appears. This affects all users in our organization and happens across all platforms (Teams desktop, Teams web, and Planner web at tasks.office.com). This is not a permissions or setup issue: The plan is connected to a Microsoft 365 Group File uploads via the “Files” tab in Teams still work No settings have been changed on our side This is critical for our business: we and our clients rely on uploading documents directly to tasks for project tracking. Without this function, Planner becomes unusable for us, and we’ll have to consider switching to a different tool. Can someone from Microsoft confirm: Is this a bug or a recent product change? When can we expect the file upload functionality to return? Thank you in advance for any help or clarification.
Guest Access for iOS??
We rolled out Microsoft Teams and Planner for a project at our organization. We have guest access turned on and enabled across Teams and Planner and everything seems to be working well. However, we noticed that our guest users do not seem to be able to access Planner thru the iOS app on their phone. It just says "Can't open link - You either don't have access to this item or it has been deleted" Is this a settings issue or something that isn't available on the iOS app yet?Tracking Dependencies in Microsoft Planner Premium
I created a post with the following topics and would love any corrections please! - What are dependencies? - Add dependencies in Grid view or Task details - Specify lag and lead times - Troubleshoot common dependency issues - Advanced techniques https://planner-ms.ghost.io/dependencies-in-microsoft-planner/
Planner due date dont get red highlight?
Microsoft is pushing hard to switch people over from Projects to Planner (on the web versions). But basic things like the due date highlighting is not visible on Planner. Am I missing an option somewhere? I am using both from the browser. Even on Teams client, it doesn't show the red highlighting. Not even on light mode. On the My Task, it shows, so it's likely a bug?
How to see all tasks by all staff over all planner boards in one schedule
Our Events staff work in Microsoft Teams in a team called COMMUNITY EVENTS. Each event they organise is represented as a channel. Each channel has its own Planner board to list tasks to complete that event. There are 6 staff as team members and they are all doing different types of tasks inside the same Planner board. There are currently 26 events going on, ergo 26 channels, 26 planner boards. This team needs to see ALL the tasks across all 26 channels / planner boards in one calendar. I cannot figure out how to do this. Does anybody have any ideas please? Also, if we were to create one team per event, rather than one channel per event, would that make achieving this overall calendar any easier? Thanks
