evrenvarol / outlook-taskboard Goto Github PK

I need some help for the outllok tasklist,
It is possible to display only the subject (name of the task) without comments in the board?

Thank for your help

Ralf

I would like to use the taskboard with a SharePoint team. Outlook can Access to Sharefile tasks. Anyone can tell me how to change the js code to Access to the sharefile task folder? I guess it is defined in the code by a Taskfolder number. How can I know which is the folder number?

thanks

Hi
i need your help.
Can you display whether an attachment exists for the task or not (there is a Standard field attachments wich returns yes or no)?
Thanks
Jochen

Environment
Windows 7x64, Microsoft Outlook 2013

Test case

1. Create the structure for tasks
   
2. Download & unzip outlook-taskboard
   
3. Create a new task folder Kanban
   
4. Set the default page for Kanban task folder
   
5. Press OK
   Expected result
   

Actual result

Dear, is it possible to use this solution with Subfolders? This is because my different projects have tasks in different subfolders which are shared with different teams.
I would need (for example) the "Sales" folder as backlog (as this task folder is shared with the sales team) and in that folder I would need every subfolder needed for the Kanban...
I've tried to change the folder in the settings file 'Sales\Folder Name' but this doesn't work.

THANKS

Hello,
Seems like all task items appear to become actually 'To-Do' list items thus cannot be shared or used by other programs which are looking for tasks.
Can we set tasks as Tasks, to appear in Outlook in Tasks folder, not To Do folder (you need to review this through the list of Folders , usually hidden option at the bottom of the outlook items panel) and you will see what I mean).
Please advise.

The notes are not shown in outlook. Only the heading are shown
I have attached a screen shot of it.

Is it possible to have the outlook layout more like the IE?

• sharp corners
• complete icon
• stacked lanes
• due date in the header

Hello.
Please tell me how to display a list of completed tasks for the current week, or 7 days prior to today
What should be changed in this line:
{Name: 'Completed', Title: 'COMPLETED', Limit: 0, Sort: "-duedate, -priority", Restrict: "[Complete] = true", Owner: ''}

Just did an update, and saw the new(?) sort feature.
I would like to sort most of the taskboard by date to have items with a due date stay on top of the lanes.
This also works, but unfortunately the sorting is in descending order. I guess this is due to the fact that when sorting by "importance" this makes sense.

I would like to suggest to either set the sort order for "Date" to ascending. For me personally setting this order for Date as fixed would be sufficient, as I cannot think of a usecase where I would like to see the least pressing things on top. However on alternative could be to make the order for each sort key configurable.

It should be possible to run the plugin on outlook in mac OSX.
Was there any attempt to try this ?

hello
I have the following questions:

1. Lane Completed
   Would it be possible to determine and display the runtime in days for a task (datetime status completed - datetime status in Progress)?
2. Lanes InProgress and Waiting
   Would it be possible to determine and display the runtime in days from the current date (current
   date - datetime Status in Progress)?

I don't have any knowledge for the implementation, otherwise I think the board is perfect.

best regards
Jochen

It would be cool to have categories in a colored box based on the category color that's being set in Outlook client.

When trying to load the IE specific html page, I get this error message in the browser console:

[$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module taskboardApp due to:

What am I doing wrong ?

Hi,
First, thank you~ Really helps me manage my team's tasks.
However, I can't get the owner of the task to be displayed in the card.
Am I missing something here?

Is it possible to drag and drop items from one lane to the next?

I use Outlook 2016 ProPlus (Office 365). I have installed the outlook-taskboard. The board is shown in Outlook.

I experience some issues:

• I can only add items to the backlog, all other + buttons are not working.
• I cannot drag-and-drop items from the backlog to other lanes.
• When I change the progress manually the items don't show in the lanes (as you can see in the picture above)

Hello,

I would like to be able to change the font size of the search bar. I managed to change it for the lane header and tasks (both header and body) by playing around with the CSS, but I wasn't successful doing the same with the filter bar. Any pointers?

Thanks a lot

Love this Add-On, it's super useful. My only complaint is that I'd like a way to change the order of the different lists. Right now, it looks like the lists will always display Backlog, Next, InProgress, Focus, Waiting, Complete. I'd like to display in order of InProgress, Next, Waiting, Backlog, Complete (I plan to remove Focus). Any guidance is much appreciated.

Hi,

I'm trying to order Backlog tasks using a FILO system. First in, Last Out. So the new tasks added were at the top of the lane.

I modified the config.js using the property "-creationtime" for the Backlog folder, however nothing happens.

Please, is this property supported? or is it named differently?

Thank you.

when I create a new task, the font-size is 1638 - maing it impossible to read.
I tried changing the settings in app.js without success.

Is it possible to get my flagged messages in this overview?
I work with a system where incoming mails are handled with the flag system and non-support items are created through tasks in outlook. I could create a task per email but the mail would lose it's history and only keep a copy of the email as far as I can see (creating an extra copy).
Completing an email in the completed tab could run a quickstep for actions and editing could open the mail.

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

i'm very surprised and excited by setting up my copy of this great addon. Thanks to you guys for providing kanban in my outlook! top!

I just tried to use drag&drop in a filtered kanban. Drag&Drop is still working somehow, but it selects an task randomly. Seems that Drag&Drop ignores filtering.

Do you have the same issue with your copy in Outllook out there?

Best wishes
Harald

I don't see a link to a zip download anywhere.

When i open any of the two .html files in either sublime or notepad++ and save it. The buttons are there, but the icons aren't shown, means i can still click on them. at least in outlook. If i open it in notepad it doesn't happen. I have tried to save with specific encodings like UTF-8 or ISO8859-1, but that doesn't help

Hi,
I just noticed, that when a task is opened (in a separate window), and I use the "Delete" button in the ribbon on that task, then the taskboard will not reflect that change.

Further interacting with the stale item on the taskboard, will lead to scripting errors.

Is it possible to have it support touch devices like surface pro with Windows 10?

Hello,

I really like your tool. Thanks to you guys for implementing Kanban in Outlook.

To enhance the experience even further I would appreciate it if different projects could be organized by different tabs by using the outlook task categories. By clicking through the tabs only tasks from one category/project will be displayed.

Somehow like this:

For the beginning a manually adding of project-tabs would be very helpful.

Thanks a lot and best wishes

Great job with the design, it is exactly what I was looking for.
I'd like to ask if it would be possible to add a feature to manage the columns dynamically?
Or at least provide instruction to customize the names or number of columns.

I am thinking about using it for more than one folder, with different sets of columns.

If you allow me to, I would probably spend some time trying to implement this feature.

In Outlook 2016 (German version) only the Backlog Lane works fine.
I am not able to use the other lanes (not any function works).

For me it seems to be a language problem...

Any concerns about how to make it run for Outlook Versions in other languages, e.g. German)?

Hello,

I know that current version was tested on Windows 10.
Is it possible to backport this feature to Windows 7?

Thanks a lot for answer,
Yurii

Hello
I tried to setup the task board according to the instructions. However, when the "Could not obtain offline settings for the address..." error pops up, I cannot simply close it by clicking on the [X]. Microsoft must have closed this gap. I tried to prepend "html://" and "res://C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\1033\OUTLWVW.DLL/" (as for the account home page) but had no success.
Any idea?
Cheers,
Kurt.

I am having issues with getting the taskboard to populate with any tasks at work. I use it at home and love it. At home I have Outlook 2016 running standalone, but at work we are on Outlook 2010 using an exchange server. I was wondering if anyone has experience using taskboard on 2010 or an exchange server. Thanks!

Hello,
I have manipulated the files and added another column. It appeared in the lineup and button +, however it is missing the count and does not display items which are dropped there.
How can I make this column work to display items like any other column?

I have followed your basic set up guide and after that I have setup it correctly but still it is not working. Specially when I tried to move task from one lane to another, it does not do anything.

Can anyone give me idea how do I solve this?

Just a formatting issue, but the screenshots do not get displayed when viewing the README.md on Github in the browser, as you can see below:

The links work, so I think the space characters between [title] and (link) have to be removed in order to repair formatting.

I am using Internet Explorer to view my taskboard. How can I change the date format so that it displays as MM/DD/YY?

In app.js, line 195, there is "mailItem.Subject = "Status Report"

How can I add the current date so that the email subject would read "12/10/2018 Status Report"

After installing the October Public Update, folder home pages no longer appear and the Home Page feature is missing in Outlook folder properties. This feature was disabled by default to limit security vulnerabilities.

Hi,

maybe i did not find the right setting, but how can i achieve to see only taks that have reached the start date? I do not want to see tasks in my backlog that will start maybe next year.

Many thanks and best wishes
Harald

Any idea why the glyphicons do not display in outlook? opening the page in an internet browser works fine

Hello,
I have a number of custom task fields defined. However, I am not able to pull them on to the card.
Is it anything that can be configured?
Thank you,
IK

Installing microsoft security update KB4011178 the functionality of setting a alternative home page for task folders is lost. The tab to configuring a home page is lost. The taskboard is not working any more.

related to: #7

a great feature is to flag emails and then when dragging them to the backlog column, create a task with a copy of the email - so far so good (works really cool).

however, to have all related emails that may be received in the future also visible in the task, it would be great to have either ...
option 1: a button on the card to display related emails (like wih the search or conversation view)
option 2: have a HTML frame embedded in the task where related emails are listed. this might even be better as it would enable to add multiple such frames in the task to have all related emails listed even if they are not from the same conversation.

note: this outlook-taskboard is a very great tool. we have so many ticketing-systems and sources for tasks in our company that it is difficult to keep the overview. this personal kanban board is already helping me a lot!

Hi evrenvarol,

I like your kanban System for Outlook. it is a great idea!
What I'm trying to do is to share a task folder with my colleges and show it in the kanban view.
The problem is, that the person who receive the task folder can not show it in the kanban view, because it didn't find the shared folder.
In the folder settings is no path where the shared folder could be.
Do you have a solution for that?

I'm looking forward to your answer.

Best Greetings
Michael

I have multiple mailboxes added to outlook. I can change the app.js file to select which account to read tasks from, but the Journal used is still my logged on account. I'd like to be able to set which account to read tasks AND use the journal for. This was I can use this project for a shared mailbox and all team members can utilize it.

I get the attached view when opened in IE 11. I have made the security settings as described.

One other question is it possible to change which lanes/columns you want in outlook?

Hi I just downloaded the pckg looks great,

i work on multiple projects at the same time and i was wondering if it would be possibel to have a tag or something in the task identifying the project. if so than perhaps it would also be possible to sort the kaban view per project or for that matter any other tag??

kind regards Martijn

First off thank you for an excellent Kanban board within Outlook. This is a very useful view and technique. I followed the instructions and got the setup completed. Strangely, I have no ability to add or drag and drop tasks into any of the categories except the Backlog. Thoughts on what I can do to resolve this? I am using Outlook 2016. Thank you.

Hello,
is it also possible to use this Outlook taskboard with the Outlook Web App?? Because if you're on Business trip with a IPad i think it's not working because there is no normal Outlook on an IPad.
Thanks for the Information.

Kind Regards
