Planner Tasks Blocking My Outlook Calendar - How to Change to “Free”?
I’ve synced my Microsoft Planner tasks with my Outlook calendar, but now they’re showing as “Busy” and blocking my availability. Is there an easy way to change these events to “Free” so they don’t interfere with my work calendar? Thanks!
Option for %complete of a task to change based on items completed in a checklist
Hi, I want the %complete of a task to change based on items completed in a checklist. Currently it uses a combination of hours and the start/end date, but I would like the %complete to also reflect the number of items that are completed in a checklist. For example, if a checklist of 8 items has 2 items done, the percent complete would be 25%. Is this possible? Or could this feature be added. I know there is a work around to use power automate, however, I encountered issues with pulling planner premium tasks into power automate. ThanksSubtasks - What level is needed?
My company is looking into utilizing our Planner so that multiple people have access to the same plan, but for the team to create subtasks we have to purchase premium plans. What level (1, 3 or 5) is needed to create a subtask? The breakdown found https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/planner/microsoft-planner-plans-and-pricing does not specify subtasks.
Planner Integration with Loop Tasks
Need some guidance - We are starting to use Planner to keep track of a large number of tasks. Currently planner is setup with: Approx 10 buckets (in kanban view), and a list of tasks below each. We are using this mainly just for tasks, so the Timeline view isn't needed. We want to connect tasks recorded in Teams meetings, and in Loop to our main Planner. Whats the best work around for this? When using Loop, and we create a task and we connect it to Planner, it will create a new Plan and put the tasks under that. To me, this is dysfunctional, because we want all tasks to be under the main Plan in Planner. I like to use the GRID view of the Plan, which enables me to make subtasks under the main tasks, but others prefer to use the kanban view. However you can't see the subtasks that are under the "main task" like in Grid view. There's lots of videos showing how these parts of Teams work together, but in reality, it doesn't really work that well when it scatters tasks created in different parts to different Planners. Any suggestions would be helpful, and thank you in advance for your help. JimMS Planner board doesn't follow my regional date format
The dates at the Board of my MS planner appear in the US format, e.g. the 25th of July appears as 07/25. This is very confusing in the european environment. I have tried to changed that. I went to https://myaccount.microsoft.com/settingsandprivacy/language and I set the regional date format to 25/07. Unfortunately the board still shows the dates in the US format. Any idea how to fix that?The Plan is missing or deleted
We are seeing an error on newly created groups when folks try to access the associated Planner board. Scenario, a group is created from Outlook. User goes to Planner, All Plans and sees the new Group/Plan. When they click on the Plan they get the following error message. Is this a bug? Are others experiencing this? We also are seeing this error for groups provisioned through the graph.New planner doesn't show a "schedule" view of tasks assigned to me from different plans
The new version of web-based Planner was enabled for me a few days ago, on November 17th. Apparently, I realized that one of the features I used is missing. At the "My Tasks" view, in the old version of Planner, one could choose to have different views, apart from the grid view. The most useful one for me was the "schedule" view, since I could see in one calendar, all assigned tasks from different plans/teams/projects. This functionality now seems to have been removed, and one can only see one separate schedule per plan.
My Tasks in Planner - Assigned to Me. Not Showing in Outlook ToDo Sidebar
Within the new Outlook, I leverage the functionality to drag a task from the ToDo sidebar and place it in my Calendar as a way to block time for completing that task. However, not all tasks show up in the Outlook ToDo sidebar. The category "Assigned to Me" does not show up meaning any task that was assigned to me in a plan I cannot place in my calendar. Struggling to find a uniform way to manage my tasks when there isn't complete visibility and uniformity in Microsoft's tools. And when will there be an updated mobile solution to Planner? The current outdated (and not supported) app does not include any premium plans, just basic.Bucket Templates or Duplicate Buckets
Adding bucket templates or duplicate bucket functionality would save so much time for all of us. We're using Planner to project manage repetitive workflows - but each time we create a new project we need to manually copy and paste all tasks. It would save so much time to add the ability to create a new bucket from a template or duplicate a bucket. Planner feels so under baked because it lacks this functionality, and there are hundreds of threads requesting this exact functionality.
