If you’ve ever used Microsoft Planner, you know how great it is for keeping track of tasks and staying organised. With its intuitive interface and simple task management system, it’s the perfect tool for teams in all kinds of organisations, from businesses to educational institutions. But did you know that Microsoft Planner’s label feature can be even more powerful than just a colour-coding system (well with a little help from us anyway!)?
Labels in Planner are not just for decoration. They're visual cues that can help teams quickly identify important information about tasks. Think requirements, locations, deadlines, or dependencies. Labels let you quickly group related tasks, making it easier to keep an eye on everything that needs to get done.
In this blog post, we'll dive into the benefits of using labels in Microsoft Planner, how they can improve your workflow, and how No More Bad Mondays has taken this feature to the next level with a game-changing solution that transforms these labels from static to dynamic.
Why Labels Matter in Microsoft Planner
Let’s break down the label magic in Planner.
On the task board, simply select a task, add a label, and voilà – you’re already categorising your work! Microsoft Planner offers 25 customisable labels to choose from. You can rename them, assign them to various tasks, and use them to mark things like deadlines, priorities, departments, or anything else that makes sense for your team.
For instance, you could assign Pink to signify “Marketing,” Red for “Urgent,” and Blue for “Client Work.” These labels then become visible on all tasks that need attention, making it super easy to visually categorise and prioritise your work. And, when you want to focus on a specific set of tasks, you can simply filter by label. It's a quick way to ensure you never miss a beat!
Enter No More Bad Mondays: Turning Static Labels into Dynamic Task Assignments
Now, what if we told you that we could make your labels even more powerful? That’s where No More Bad Mondays comes in. We’ve taken Microsoft Planner’s static label system and turned it into a dynamic powerhouse that works even harder for you.
With our Dynamic Labels solution, you can assign staff members automatically based on the colour label you choose. Let’s break it down:
Imagine you’re managing a project with different teams, and each team has a colour. For example:
Pink = Marketing Team
Green = Development Team
Blue = Sales Team
Once our solution is set up, all you have to do is add the Pink label to a task, and – bam – all members of your marketing team are automatically assigned to that task. No more manual assignment. No more wasting time on repetitive elements of building your task.
What does this mean for your team?
More time spent actually working on tasks.
Less time spent on admin and coordination.
Increased efficiency and productivity.
Faster task management and reduced risk of errors.
How Does It Work?
Our dynamic labels solution integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Planner and is simple to install. Once it's in place, you can assign specific groups or individual team members to labels by colour. For example:
Pink = Marketing Team (assigns automatically when a pink label is selected).
Yellow = Development Team (assigned automatically when a yellow label is selected).
It’s that simple. And the best part? You can download and install the solution for free! No More Bad Mondays has designed this tool to make your team’s planning and task management faster and more efficient than ever.
