Grid view is now available on the Planner web portal
The web portal for Microsoft Planner (tasks.office.com) now supports Grid view, which is similar to List view in Tasks by Planner in Teams. This is a friendly note for web-portal visitors. However, it lacks a few key features when compared to Tasks by Planner in Teams. You can select multiple tasks (in Tasks by Planner in Teams) and change the assignment, bucket, dates, and other settings. The same is true for completing / reactivating tasks in the Planner web portal.Suggested attachments in Planner
Hi, Microsoft rolled out this feature recently. Does this feature satisfy the Planner users? Let's deep dive and check. Admin center defines this feature as “Planner will recommend related files to attach to your tasks”. Let us dive deep and check what is there. What are suggested attachments in Planner? This new Planner feature allows users to quickly add attachments to their tasks from an intelligently curated list of relevant files. The recommendations are based on the task and the user. Read this blog post to know more. https://blog.apps4.pro/deep-dive-into-microsoft-planner-suggested-attachmentsCopy plan to existing Office365 Groups is now available in Microsoft Planner
Microsoft has launched the ability to copy the plan to existing Office 365 Group in Microsoft Planner. Planner users started asking this feature when Microsoft initially launched the copy plan feature. Copy plan allows Project managers to copy a Plan which they create as a template and reuse for creating new plans. Finally, the wait is over! Microsoft has launched the ability to copy the plan to existing Office 365 Group in Microsoft Planner. Planner users started asking this feature when Microsoft initially launched the copy plan feature. Copy plan allows Project managers to copy a Plan which they create as a template and reuse for creating new plans. Initially, when Microsoft launched this feature a new office 365 Group will be created whenever you copy the plan. This was annoying for the admins and Project managers as more Groups will be created which is difficult for management and it is not possible to add the copied plan as the tab in the existing Team. So, the real power of the copy plan feature was unutilized until today. But from now on, PMs can copy the plan to the existing group and add it to different channels in the Teams. What gets copied and what not?

New in Microsoft planner- Add and assign tasks to non-members of the Group. When you assign the task to non-members, they are added as the members to the respective office365 Group and the task gets assigned. But this option is viewable only to the group owners as they can able to add members to the group.New Feature: Priority field for Planner tasks is now available
As mentioned in the O365roadmap, the Priority field for Planner tasks is now available. Microsoft has added 4 types of priority named Urgent Important Medium Low By default, the tasks created from Quick create and all the tasks created before implementing this feature will be marked are added with ‘Medium’ priority. However, there is no option to add the Priority for the task without opening it. It will be easy for users who create quick tasks if the Priority for the task can be updated without opening the task. I have posted the blog here which details what Microsoft has implemented in this feature and what you can expect. https://www.jijitechnologies.com/blogs/priority-field-for-microsoft-planner
