I am astounded that Planner in Teams does not send any notification to the person assigned that they have a new task. Confoundingly, if anyone comments on any task, EVERYONE in the Team gets an email. Please fix this fundamental flaw that prevents Planner from functioning correctly in Teams for GCC.

Allow to use planner within private channel

You need to expand upon the planner and it’s capabilities as a self planner as well as tasking groups of people or individuals to a task and tracking their progress both as an individual as well as a group

Enable Planner to send an email via Outlook to owners when a due date is approaching for a task.

In teams it would be nice to have a consolidated roll up of planner events. If it showed just a percentage and the name of the planner group would be helpful.

Please integrate more with Planner (timeline visualization channels for tasks) and/or with SharePoint web parts that do this, so all tasks linked in one place and with Outlook as well (for calendar and emails pertinent to chats and tasks). Until then, Planner is just a to-do tool that does not notify members of the team of new or changes in tasks and is not fully integrated for communication and coordination (copied from another board but Government needs this functionality also).

Allowing tasks to have a privacy feature so the admin could set who see's the tasks and who can edit the tasks.

Allow color coding of boxes on planning app. Either allow shading of the whole box or allow a band of color near the top of the box; the tiny flags do not stand out.
Allow more color choices.
And allow more people to be notified for a task.

In the GCC. Thank you.

1. Add more labels in the planner, five labels is not enough. 2. Provide an export function for the calendar view to a pdf, excel or word document. I take a screen shot and save it to powerpoint to share with members who are not on teams.

We would like to use the .pdf of the Task and associated comments with the names and dates of those involved as virtual route slips for completed tasks. We need to have the ability to open the task and print to .pdf to accomplish this. Thank you!

PS. I realize there is an overall Excel file that can be downloaded of all tasks. We really like the view and structure of the actual task with completed items and comments and would prefer to have that individual task as a .pdf.

Bookings would be incredibly useful for Gov clients that need to schedule time with customers. Consultations, animal shots, and others would be wonderful.

When will planner and smartsheet available for G3 ?
