How to clone a Plan using PowerShell and Graph
Just sharing a recent blog post where I walk through PowerShell example that uses Graph to read and write Plan details - https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/brismith/2017/02/17/microsoft-planner-how-to-clone-a-plan-with-graph/ Now at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/planner-blog/microsoft-planner-how-to-clone-a-plan-with-graph/ba-p/362230
Plans to add "Completed/Archived Bucket" section?
We've recently started using planner and within 1 plan (IT Plan) we have several buckets (Projects). Each bucket for us represents a different project, and within the buckets you have your tasks. Well, as we complete tasks and eventually the entire bucket (meaning project is completed), we move the bucket to the end of all active buckets/projects. Eventually this list will be huge. We want to save all past projects/buckets however we do not want them flooding the current projects. Doesn't seem like best practice to just throw the completed buckets at the end and pretend they're not there (Image 1 ). I don't think the answer is "Create a plan per projects" since there is also no ability to archive plans it would seem and the left side would be flooded with projects as well. Ultimately if we could have more bucket management/control/archive feature as a drop down (Image 2). Thank you! Image 1 Image 2Plans from Planner are not showing in Flow or third party Add-ins
I have seen several case where Plans from the Planner are not showing in the API. This means you will not be able to use Microsoft Flows for the Planner or use third party Add-ins with the Planner. I am not sure why this happens and I have only seen this on af few O365 tenants. It is a big prblem for these organisation and the Planner is simply not a useful tool. Please advice? and it would be interesting to hear if any other have the same problem.Planner Task URL Scheme
We are looking to integrate the automation and management of Planner tasks through other systems with Flow and would also like to notify people via email if they are assigned to a task with a direct link to that task in Planner. Can anyone provide a URL schema to be able to put together the link via an e-mail notification?
Task assignees not receiving comment notifications until they comment is completely absurd.
Sup guys. We've recently moved to Teams from Basecamp expecting much better features and streamlined process. We set up our groups and teams and channels and everything. We created our Plans and started assigning tasks. And then the mayhem began. My accountant assigned me a task to provide invoices that needed to be uploaded ASAP because of tax deadlines. Okay no problem I said. I uploaded them to the task and wrote a comment to her (we were both assigned to the task) saying it's done and to check if everything is correct. 3 hours later, still no answer. Angrily, I pick up the phone and demand to know why was she pestering me so hard with all those ASAPs when she's clearly not under a time pressure when she explains she got no notification about my comment. I start researching and I can't believe my eyes - if someone doesn't comment on a task assigned to them, he doesn't get a notification if somebody else comments? Wha...who...how? How did this decision pass the product officer? Was she at lunch or something? I mean, coupled with the inability to mention someone this is a complete and utter dealbreaker for me personally and for the company as well. I read the notification update manifesto and I understand that you wanted to fix the whole email notification spam thing which I wholeheartedly applaud to - but BROTHER YO, what's the reason for using Planner now when we have to go back to picking up phones or chat to get more info on a task's progress? My team is already confused and disorganized thanks to this, since they had no idea other team members were trying to reach them on their tasks while they on the other hand felt ignored... So I'd like to know - is this going to be addressed by mobile notifications or mentions or another standard solution which has been around for I don't know 7 years or so? Or maybe there's a workaround of some kind somewhere? I really don't want to explain to my team after weeks of training that we won't be using Planner for task management after all. Thanks to anyone with more info / supportive voice on this issue.Webhook for Planner
Developers can use the Planner API in Microsoft Graph to manage Planner tasks and assign them to users in a Group in Microsoft 365. Other MS 365 App Notifications have already been created for Teams, SharePoint Lists, Onedrive, Outlook and others but not for Planner. Webhook Notifications for the new To Dos have been recently developed and are now in Preview. When can we expect a Planner Webhook to support the many use cases and opportunities for integrations?How to automate Planner and integrate it with Power Bi
Lets say on my work i have to do the same exact activities, one after another and my boss wants to assign those tasks to my team through Microsoft Teams, how can i make like a sample tasks that i just change the name but the check list is the same and that those tasks are linked one after another. Besides that I want to know if its possible to graph how much time it takes me to complete those tasks using Power Bi or any other application from Office 365. Thanks for your time and help.
