Planner default view
Is there a way to set the default view from 'Group by bucket' to 'Group by Progress' It used to be this way, but now defaults to 'Group by Bucket' which is a bit annoying
Once it's set to Group by Bucket, it stays that way. Between browser sessions, restarts, via different computers, and for different users. I use mine frequently now, and never have to switch it. So, the notion of "default" is passe, just as with the windows printer setting. Your app leaves it where you set it.
EM_Ongweoweh I think you missed the point. Group by Bucket is the default so naturally it will always stay that way. Switch to Grid view and see what you get. Once you reboot - it goes back to Group by Bucket. What this thread is saying we want the default to be what we want it to be - anything OTHER than Group by Bucket.
I need a default grid view because I really don't have the time and patience to be fielding questions all day about it. My job is to make things easier for my team, not add more steps.
- Hmm, I guess your actual point is that the Board is default, not the Grid. Within the Board, the Group By setting stays where you leave it.
If the *one click* to go from Board to Grid actually tests your patience and the abilities of your "team", then maybe looking inward is the better route.- It is not the click of the button. It is the fact that there is no way to change the default view. For example, I need the plan to default to Group by "Assigned To" for the plan I am currently using. It seems that every single Microsoft app is missing some functionality that is needed to organize a complex team. (E.g., in Lists, you can change the default view, but you are missing the organizational features available in Planner). It is extremely frustrating, and because of all the added steps to find the pertinent information, the senior members of my team simply refuse to use the software. The fixes are simple. Microsoft needs to do better.
