Options can vary depending on the list you're viewing. You can also choose More options and then select Delete, Move task., or more.

This is called List view, and allows you to change many tasks at once, which wasn't as possible in either To Do or Planner before. Rename the Teams tab for a plan (Tasks app will use this name)Ī unique feature of the Tasks app how it displays tasks and information associated with them in rows and columns. Are these tasks that need to be done by me specifically? Are these tasks I can ask other people to do? Are they important and urgent for someone else? Does that change their importance for me? Maybe they need to be re-classified, or perhaps they are things I can ask someone else to do and remove them from my list.Note: To find out how to perform specific actions in Planner, see the Planner help and learning center. When I look at these, I ask myself some questions. This is because people spend a lot of time on things that are important because they are urgent, not because they are actually important. Notice that 'Urgent/Not Important' is third, not second. 'Not Urgent/Important' comes next (Priority 2), then 'Urgent/Not Important' (Priority 3), and finally 'Not Urgent/Not Important' (Priority 4 or no priority at all). 'Urgent/Important' is the highest priority (i.e., Priority 1) and needs to be done first. Now we can translate the boxes into priorities. Is it something that needs to be done today or tomorrow? Then it is probably 'Urgent.' Does it have a deadline that is approaching, but there are days/weeks/months until that time, or perhaps it doesn't have a deadline at all? Certainly 'Not Urgent.'
