Re: Transitioning hard-core Slack users to Teams
sohnash Thank you for the message. I had forgotten about this and saw a notification from your post which showed me additional posts as well. This will only get me part of the way, but I'll take it. Anything is better than nothing.3.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Transitioning hard-core Slack users to Teams
Ashley - No, we don't have the add a task from a conversation yet. That still isn't what they users are requesting. I do see why you would suggest this though. I have had other users (who don't use Slack) ask for this exact functionality and they will be excited when it arrives. The current users are looking for a shortcut type of command that recognizes create a task or remind with a simple /command + Enter keystroke. Even this will require a message, click on the ellipsis, select create a task. . . and I'm not sure about the additional steps. So still not as simple as the feature they are losing. This might be halfway for them though when it arrives in our tenant. Thank you for suggesting it.3.7KViews1like0CommentsTransitioning hard-core Slack users to Teams
I have a small group of users in our company who are hard-core Slack users. I'm tasked with getting them transitioned to Teams. They know they don't have a choice, but as everyone here knows, it is easier to get someone to make a change if they can see an advantage or benefit from that change. This group has explained to me that they heavily use the remind feature in Slack and are asking how can they do this same thing in Teams and do them as easily as in Slack. Here are the examples they gave me: I can set a reminder for myself, for someone else or to be posted in a channel in slack for everyone to see. The reminders can be once or repeat. For example, remind me in 1 hour to call customer Remind Jean on Monday at 9am to uncheck tasks in one note Remind XXXXX channel to check rebates every Monday at 9am If I needed to remind myself of things, I would probably use Outlook to create an event and attach a Flag to it. I could setup a Power Automate workflow to do these reminders also. My issue here is first that setting this up in Power Automate (or even in Outlook) is a lot more steps than just using a /command to do each of these things. I have seen one or two apps that we could pay for, but we don't want to pay for apps above what we pay for our tenant if not necessary. I would like to know if anyone has any other suggestions of ways to set these reminders that would super simple - if there are any. Thanks in advance. 🙂 Karen4.3KViews1like5CommentsRe: Why we need to give full control to all site collection for Learning Path App
Vidhi7 I believe that this is requested because according to Microsoft, the app is adding the ability to provision sites to your entire SharePoint tenant. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/pnp-provisioning-tenant-templates) In order to do that, you have to give the provisioning app elevated permissions in order to be able to utilize it in the future to provision any site template you would like to enable. I've worked at companies where they used this app to enable a custom form to be submitted for approval and it would then automatically provision a new site (collection) for the requester. I am pretty sure that is why it is asking you for this level of permission - so that you can also leverage the provisioning engine to provision other site collection templates in the future.3KViews1like1Comment
