How can we make Planner better?

← Microsoft Planner - Feedback Forum

Add/Remove Labels, Sort Labels, More Label Colors

To summarize these requests, we’d like the following:

1) The ability to add and remove labels.
2) When the “Group by Labels” option is selected, the ability to change the order of the columns (e.g., “Move right” and “Move left” similar to the “Group by Bucket” column)
3) In the Task view, the ability to change the order of the label tabs.
4) The ability to change the color of the labels and add more colors.

Here's a list of many feedback entries requesting these ideas:

    Removing (or hiding) and reordering labels is absolutely essential! The larger number and new colours are great, but without the ability to remove and reorder them, the group by label function is now basically useless.

  • Ferhat commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please implement this ASAP ! We would like to use Planner however this is driving everyone crazy !

  • BThis commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Allow us to reorder the labels and specify which appear first both in the list and on the Task cards.

    USE CASE: We use labels to describe features of the task that should appear in a logical grouping. We can't do that in the current implementation.

    The order is confusing--we can't change it, but Labels don't appear on the cards in the order they're listed. For example, Pink is down the list, but if selected it appears first on the card. Why?

    This is such an old request, but functionally simple. The View if you needed or wanted to view by Labels is horrific with over 24 colors displaying when you only use 5. At the very least update the view to omit unused colors.

  • Scott Martin commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Agree with many of the users below. Functionality of changing previous label colors or moving the order of label (similar to the current functionality of moving buckets in Board view) are necessary improvements to Planner.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Today we see more labels with more colors. It's a good news ! It's very fine. But it's very frustrating with this new functionality we can't reorder it or we can't delete some of them. I can't choose the best color for my tagging if I don't want to search in the full list list where I can find the label i want

  • Kelli SC commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Thank you Mike for consolidating. It's great that the ability to group by label was added but how silly that all my tiles appear too to the right because I'm using the colors at the end of the list. PLEASE add the ability to move label groupings like boards or at least put used labels first and unused labels at the end.

  • Wess commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Rather than just having the name of a label (e.g. "Blue") shown in that particular color, the entire tile should be given that color. Seems like a very simple and obvious implementation

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I wonder who decides it is a good idea to have a stupid limitation like only having 6 labels?

  • alistair commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    any status on this feature? any way to find out if you guys are considering implementing it ?
