| 2023-08-02 | New Feature | Status: In Development Title: Microsoft Teams: Task publishing: Schedule recurring lists in task publishing Description: The task publishing experience in Microsoft
Teams is a feature for frontline organizations that have employees distributed
across many geographically dispersed locations. The task publishing feature
allows an organization to centrally define a set of work, choose the set of
frontline locations that should complete that work, create the appropriate
tasks for each frontline location, and monitor how that work is going. One of
the top feature requests for task publishing has been the ability to create a
set of tasks once and set them to automatically repeat at a scheduled cadence.
Common examples are daily opening and closing tasks or weekly/monthly site
inspections and compliance walks. When this feature is available, you'll be
able to set recurrence on a draft task list, which will allow you to choose the
cadence (such as every month on the 15th of the month). You can then publish
the list and task publishing will take care of scheduling the publication so
that the list publishes automatically at that cadence going forward. We know
from a wide range of customer conversations that this will be a big time saver
for distributing recurring tasks across frontline organizations. |
