Improving Navigation and Custom Views in Planner
Hey everyone,
I wanted to throw out a couple of ideas that could make Microsoft Planner even better!
Linking My Day Tasks to the Actual Plan:
Right now, when you use My Tasks > My Day, it would be awesome if the tasks were linked directly to the actual plan instead of being grayed out. Having to switch views just to see the plan context is a bit tedious, and it would be much faster if we could easily access the plan right from My Day.
Saving/Pinning Views (Grid vs. Board):
With the July update, the default is now Board View, but it’d be great if we could pin or save our preferred view (like Grid) as the default. I know everyone has different preferences, and being able to set and save a default view would save a lot of time clicking around.
Would love to hear if anyone else feels the same way or if you've found workarounds for these issues!

I would love to be able to save views... but also filter views. Like I'd love to be able to pin a view of not started & in progress that is due in the past or this week, another view of not started & in progress due next week, etc... so I can easily switch between the views I use most often.
I'd also love if I could sort the boards. Having a bunch of tasks in a random order is so not helpful.
Another feature I'd love is to be able to group tasks in grid view, then sort them in that group. Like a header/divider is there. I've had this with past task views and it makes life so much easier.
Right now, it's so easy to miss stuff in my to-do list, because the views are so limited or it just a long list of everything.
