It's important to know that guests can only access Tasks as an app from the Teams mobile client. If Tasks is installed on the Teams desktop client, users will also see it on their Teams web and mobile clients. With Tasks, users get a desktop, web, and mobile experience. The app shows both individual tasks from To Do and team tasks from Planner. Tasks is available as an app and as a tab in a channel. To enable task publishing, first set up a team targeting hierarchy for your organization, which defines how all teams in the hierarchy are related to each other. Managers can assign tasks to their staff and direct activities within their locations, and Frontline Workers have a prioritized list of their assigned tasks on mobile or desktop. For example, corporate and regional leadership can create and publish task lists targeted to relevant locations, such as specific retail stores, and track progress through real-time reports.

There may be a short delay in the availability of the mobile experience after the desktop experience is available.įor organizations who want to streamline task management for Frontline Workers, Tasks also includes capabilities that enable you to target, publish, and track tasks at scale across your Frontline Workforce. On Teams mobile clients, users will always see the app name as Tasks.

The name will then temporarily change to Tasks by Planner and To Do, and later on, it will be renamed to Tasks. As we roll out the Tasks experience on Teams desktop clients, the app name will initially appear as Planner to users.
