How to Request Daily Views and Date Filters in Microsoft Planner
Question details
The user wants to view tasks in Microsoft Planner using a daily time scale or a custom date-range filter, which are not currently available by default.
- Product
- Microsoft Planner
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Planning tasks on a highly granular level, such as a daily view or a two-week look-ahead, instead of the default weekly or monthly views.
- Observed behavior
- Microsoft Planner currently only provides weekly and monthly time scales; adding daily views or custom date filters requires a feature request to the product development team.
Ensure you are signed into your Microsoft 365 account and have access to the Planner board where you wish to see these scheduling features.
Submit a Feature Request to the Microsoft Planner Product Team
Since Microsoft Support agents cannot add new development features, you must submit your request directly to the product team for evaluation.
Microsoft Planner currently limits scheduling views to weekly and monthly time scales. Custom date-range filters and daily views are core capabilities that require software development rather than a simple configuration change from support.
Open your Microsoft Planner app or log into the web interface through your Microsoft 365 dashboard.
Click on the 'Settings' gear icon or the 'Help' (?) icon located in the top right corner of the screen.
Select 'Send feedback' from the dropdown menu, or navigate directly to the official Microsoft Planner Feedback Community portal in your web browser.
Clearly describe your specific scheduling needs, ensuring you mention terms like 'daily time scales', 'two-week look-ahead planning', and 'custom date-range filters'.
Click submit so the product development team can log your request, evaluate the feature, and potentially include it in a future update.
Manage Your Projects with WPS Office
While waiting for new features in Microsoft Planner, consider using WPS Office to create highly customizable project schedules, Gantt charts, and daily task trackers. It is a fully compatible, lightweight, and free alternative to Microsoft Office.
- 1. Download and Install: Download WPS Office for free from the official website and install it on your device.
- 2. Open WPS Spreadsheet: Launch the application and open a new WPS Spreadsheet to serve as your project tracker.
- 3. Search for Templates: Click on the 'Templates' tab and search for 'Daily Planner' or 'Project Schedule' to find a layout that fits your needs.
- 4. Customize Your Date Filters: Adjust the template's date columns and apply custom data filters to create your own two-week look-ahead or daily view.
