Planner Graph Visual - Status Counts No longer Visible
Thank you for the recent Planner update. Unfortunately, the changes to the Status chart in the Charts view have significantly reduced its usefulness for our team.
In the previous version, the Status chart displayed the number of tasks for each status directly below the chart (Not Started, In Progress, Late, and Completed). This made it easy to capture a single screenshot that clearly showed both the visual breakdown and the exact task counts of our work for client and team reporting.
With the new update, those individual counts are no longer displayed. Instead, the chart only shows the total number of tasks/tasks remaining, and the individual status counts can only be viewed by hovering over each section of the chart.
This creates two issues:
We regularly use this chart in screenshots for client-facing reporting and team updates. We can no longer capture all status counts in a single screenshot and would need multiple screenshots to communicate the same information.
When hovering over a status to see its task count, the pop-up can cover the number displayed in the center of the chart, making the visual even more difficult to capture and present clearly.
Would it be possible to restore the previous functionality that displayed each status and its corresponding task count directly beneath the chart, or provide an option to enable those labels?
The previous layout was much more useful for reporting because all of the relevant information was visible at a glance without requiring any interaction with the chart.
Thank you
