There may be more as I mull it over and do more research.
We then look at the Outlook page to get an update on progress on specific smaller, actions assigned to individuals – which are synced between OneNote and their Outlook Tasks lists. We review the larger project tasks and timeline by looking at the SharePoint Task List, and make the update there as well. What we do at itgroove is open and use both OneNote and SharePoint site at the same time when having a Project Team meeting. To my knowledge I have not come across a way to enter a task on a OneNote page and have it auto-update a SharePoint Task list. You then have the option to “Create Summary Page” where it puts all the incomplete to do items on one page. Make sure you Group tags by: Tag name, select the checkbox for “show only unchecked items”, refine your search by location or timeline, and press Refresh Results. This allows you to search for all “To Do tags” on a particular page, section, or notebook – and then refine your search. I would suggest using “To Do Tags” in conjunction with the Outlook Tasks flags in OneNote because you could then use the “Find Tags” button to the right of the “To Do Tag” button in the Tags Group in the Home Tab of OneNote.
Yeah, the easiest approach is to manage all the tasks in Outlook. Perhaps (yes I MIGHT be answering my own question) there is a way that I could see all the tasks Outlook and I could manage them this way, but that still wouldn’t provide the team a view to them all. Their assignments could be seen in that SPO task list or their Outlook presumably. My hope/though is that somehow they could be integrated with an SPO task list so that all team members could easily see tasks. Currently I have a OneNote notebook on the SPO team site, but you would still have to browse through all the meeting minutes and such where tasks were originated to see them. How do I see all the tasks associated with a given project for example. My issue with originating the tasks in OneNote like this is that then they are dispersed throughout OneNote. However, I am curious how I would best use this in a project team environment, in particular with a SharePoint Online task list perhaps. I am aware of this functionality and have used it. Hi Kelly, thanks for taking the time to post the article. If you hit any snags, capture a screenshot and send it my way. My suggestion: test out these steps in your environment. (That functionality is likely on its way.) To the best of my knowledge (without testing in every single environment), the functionality is available in the desktop versions of OneNote 2007, 2010 and 2013, because it is available in the desktop versions Outlook 2007, 2010 and 2013.Īnd it appears, that you cannotassign tasks in Outlook Web App ( yet).
