To use the M365 Tasks app, you first have to set it up. You need to be an admin of the page or community and have "Manage apps of a page/community" permission to configure the app.
The app is only available if the Microsoft integration is activated, the correct API permissions have been granted, and users are logged in with Microsoft authentication.
Set up the app
After adding a M365 Tasks app, you can configure the following settings:
- Name: Give your app a meaningful name that best reflects its topic and use case.
- Activate this app: Activate the app immediately or leave it in deactivated mode. A deactivated app is only visible to page or community admins. Learn more in Activating and deactivating apps.
- URL: By default, the URL is generated from the app's name, but you can change it to something else. Any old links leading to the app won't work anymore after you change it.
- Available plans: Select one of your plans from Microsoft Planner to display in the app. You can only select one plan per app.
- Displayed board columns: Choose which columns to display in the app: Not Started, In Progress, and/or Completed.
- Limit of shown tasks per column: Enter a number to specify how many tasks you want displayed per column in the app. This effectively sets the app's height. You can scroll within the app to view additional tasks.
