Set default views
Can we have the ability to setup default views? Would be nice to have the team to access the plan and go to a predefined view that is easier to consume. I have a project with multiple members and its hard to track each ones actions for them when the access the tools and it goes straight to board view. Can we have the ability to have them go to the charts view with predefined filters? That would help make it visual as chart is a dynamic dashboard that makes it easier to track each peoples tasks.

This feature is a big loss for Planner. Or just put the default to Progress, this would already help A LOT!! Than i can at least use the planner app for all tasks.. People forget to change the progress and with this they can't

unbelievable. this is a feature which is asked for since 4 years already. Hey Microsoft: Are you sleeping? WAKE UP - YOUR CUSTOMERS NEED YOU!
I use this app daily and every day I have to switch the settings… Unfortunately I have no other choice. I have to work with it -

It would work much better with Decisions and with the whole planner experience in general if the default could be set by the user. The personal planner comes up as group by progress by default but if you create a new task list in a team channel then this one is grouped by bucket. It doesn't make sense, especially as I am trying to manage over 20 projects and a team of 15 using teams channels and task lists which then feed into the team members' personal planners. The fact that the personal planner and the team channel planner views are different and cannot set to be the same is not user friendly.

Setting defaults for views at the user level would be great. default views at the team level, even better

Since there are several viewing options for planners it would be great to be able to "lock it" into the preferred viewing options.
in my team we set up different planner that we like to use in different viewing options. However for it to work properly we need to set it to our preferred viewing options every time we click on it.

YES! Based on how our team uses boards and buckets for business partners, I have to change my view every time I load Planner to filter by my assigned cards, and change the view to “By Label”.
EVERY.
SINGLE.
TIME.
I LOGIN.
In 2020 there’s no reason not to have a setting to save default views / grouping for each board.

Hello, is there anybody from MS out there? Has this thread even been noticed or are we all wasting our time?
Can you please action this simple request of custom views in planner. It would make our lives so much easier. -

I just switched to Teams in my office and already this missing (ridiculously simple) feature is making me regret this decision. Come on Microsoft, how many votes and years do you need to get this done?!
