How to see all tasks by all staff over all planner boards in one schedule
Hello Sharyn_Mayne,
To see all tasks by all staff over all Planner boards in one schedule, you have 2 options:
- Option1: Combine Planner Boards into a Single Schedule
1. Create a new channel within the COMMUNITY EVENTS team called "Master Calendar" or a similar name.
2. In this new channel, add a new Planner tab.
3. Open each existing Planner board for the 26 channels, one at a time.
4. In each Planner board, go to the "Board settings" (the gear icon) and select "Copy Plan."
5. Choose the option to "Copy Plan to an existing Office 365 group or team" and select the "Master Calendar" channel as the destination.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for all the Planner boards, copying them to the Master Calendar channel.
7. Once all Planner boards are copied, you will have a single Planner board in the Master Calendar channel that includes all tasks from the 26 events.
8. You can now view all tasks in one schedule by navigating to the Master Calendar channel and accessing the Planner tab.
- Option 2: Use a Third-Party Integration (Zapier, Asana, Trello, Monday.com, ...)
Regarding the question about creating one team per event instead of one channel per event, it would not make achieving the overall calendar any easier. In fact, it may complicate the process further as you would need to manage multiple teams and their associated Planner boards separately.
Overall, Option 1 provides a consolidated view of tasks from all 26 events in one Planner board within the Master Calendar channel. This approach allows you to maintain a single workspace while still tracking tasks across different events.
Kindest regards
