The Next Generation of Task Management in Microsoft Loop

The recent updates to Microsoft Loop's task list components mark a significant leap forward in managing tasks and projects. Microsoft has rolled out several key improvements, deeply informed by user feedback, to enhance usability and increase productivity. With a fresh look that brings a new level of consistency across Microsoft Loop, these task components have become more intuitive and user-friendly. Among the notable enhancements are advanced filtering options that allow users to efficiently sieve through tasks based on various parameters, such as the due date, assignee, and more. This ensures that users can focus on what's important without getting bogged down by clutter.

Introduction to the Loop Team
Hello, Microsoft 365 Insiders! My name is Srishti Talwar, and I am a Product Manager on the Microsoft Loop team. I am thrilled to unveil the enhancements we've implemented in task list components based on your valuable input.

Flexibility and Functionality in Task Management
Many of you have emphasized how crucial task list components are for organizing work and overseeing projects. In response, our team has introduced a series of upgrades such as filters, sorting capabilities, and the ability to expand or collapse items, tweaking row height for better visibility, and more, all directly within your task list component.

Revamped Aesthetic Appeal
The task list components now sport a refreshed appearance, aligning with the tables on Loop pages. This update promises a seamless and consistent user experience, complete with borders and a summary row for comprehensive task management.

• Filtering Options
  Task list components now offer robust filtering options, allowing users to streamline their tasks based on various parameters like task name, assignee, due date, and beyond. These enhanced filters can be combined, granting access to a refined view to anyone with Loop page access.
• Customizable Row Height
  The new row height feature lets you modify the height of your rows with a simple click, ensuring your content fits perfectly and meets your preferences.
• Expand/Collapse Functionality
  Focus on what matters by utilizing the expand/collapse feature, designed to simplify the management of your task list components.
• Multi-select Capability
  Perform bulk actions like deletion or copying with the multi-select feature, streamlining the process of managing multiple rows at once.

Upcoming Features and Access
Keep an eye out for the upcoming ability to filter tasks by status and differentiate between completed and incomplete tasks by check circle status, expanding the tool's functionality. To use these improvements, you need an active Microsoft 365 subscription, a commercial license (E3 or E5), and a stable internet connection. These features are currently available for all eligible Microsoft 365 subscribers.
