Planner for Private Channels
- You can assign people of private channels tasks just fine. Private channel members are members of the Team so you can assign them tasks. The only thing you cannot do is have a "private" plan.
This is going to probably be awhile if at all since they have to rearchitect how Planner works to hide individual plans based on channels.
Anyway, you can use a website tab in a private channel to link straight to another plan if you want a link there, but you can most def. still assign tasks to anyone in the Team. If you need a private plan in general, then you'll have to have a Plan created on it's own, then a website tab linked to it and invite everyone in the channel, but at this point you might as well just create a new private Team for these people in the channel instead.
MJKsotech , A pretty good work around to use it in Private Channels is to create the Planner in a standard channel & then remove the tab.
Open the Plan in web client.
Copy the Planner Link
Open the private channel & add the link as a website to the private channel tab.
Works pretty well for our team, worth a try until they add planner to private teams.
JesseIT740 when I tried your workaround (using the website link to add a planner as a tab on a private channel), it showed all of my planners. Is there a way to isolate this to just one plan?
JesseIT740 still not being a "private" planner and everyone can see using the link address.
- That looks a nice workaround. How is the privacy maintained if you use this? Can the People in the channel still find the tasks e.g. by searching etcetera.
JesseIT740 Thanks, I was also thinking of that as a workaround. Unfortunately the footprint of unnecessary services is virtually the same as creating a Team. Only saving is OneDrive for business. The only other potential benefit is end-user-experience, i.e. no need to scroll between the various Teams in Teams, but scrolling between channels in a Teams is basically the same.
Are there any other benefits to this approach?
Kind Regards
