Public Plans are Not Appearing in Organization Users' Planner Hub
Hi Joanna Parkhurst,
Do you have an update on this topic?
Recently I've been looking at how to leverage Planner to create a template (looks like a public plan is the best way) to share with others in my organization to use. The content of this thread is really interesting because there's value to both browsing and searching. For my specific case, I'm looking at creating a generic onboarding plan for other teams to copy as they hire new employees. So either a search or browse function would work for my needs.
My organization has just started using Planner. My frustration is the understanding of the meaning of "Public" when it is assigned to a Plan. It states " Anyone in my organization can see plan contents". That is not true until I add that member to the plan which in turn adds them to the group that Plan is part of. With that, "Public" is the same as "Private" which is "Only members I add can see plan contents". If a plan is "Public" then anybody in my company or organization should be able to open that plan.
With respect to the search feature it should be as simple as searching for the plan title. You would then be able to open it and join it, if it is Public. If it is Private then you wouldn't be able to find it or join it.
Pete_Vanfrachen great observation and I agree. I would assume that public would be visible to all users without the need to add them as a member.
Hopefully there are some changes made!
- This (public vs. private) is confusing for me too. Also I posted these questions (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/planner/how-to-access-to-a-public-group-public-planner/m-p/3130041) before I was able to find this one.
Any update on this? Thx!
