00:00:01 This video is about checking on comments on a task. You may get an email saying new comment on a task. And so when you get that kind of an email, you need to open that email. And then you can check on the comment by clicking on the link that's provided. That will open up Planner in Microsoft.

00:00:31 in your window, and then you can go in here and scroll down and look at the most

00:00:37 comment, most recent comment. In this particular task, I had asked to correct an

00:00:45 error in a missionary profile, and Elder Clark has responded saying service

00:00:51 now, service now requests submitted. He can't actually make the correction,

00:00:57 but they have a department called ServiceNow, and he's submitted that, so he's just giving me a status update on the task that I submitted.

00:01:07 On the other task here, we have a task here that's from Elder Smaka, and it said there's a comment there, so we click on that, we let it open up a new window,

00:01:22 and then we scroll down and see what the task is. Now they've marked it in progress

00:01:28 and the task here is another comment from Elder Clark asking if the three

00:01:36 available opportunities will work rather than activating the two that have a

00:01:41 problem and so Elder Smough needs to look at that and respond to that and so the

00:01:49 The other thing I just wanted to point out is that if you want to get into the different

00:01:56 tasks that are on here, you can get to this planner by going into the links page and then

00:02:04 clicking on planner, that will take you to the planner page.

00:02:09 And then you click on my tasks and you're not going to have an editing task board or form

00:02:16 you'll have this task list. I've got it grouped by plan, but most of you will

00:02:22 probably want to click group by progress, and then you can see the ones that are

00:02:26 in progress, the ones that are completed, the ones that haven't even started. So you

00:02:32 can group it. I'm gonna go back here, but then you can click on the name of any of

00:02:37 these tasks to see the current status and any comments that have been added. So

00:02:42 Anyway, that's the way to get into your task board.

00:02:47 The easiest way to get into the task board is actually from your Outlook screen up here.

00:02:54 Click on the Tic Tac Toe grid menu up here and then just click on Planner and that will

00:03:02 take you to your task list and it will be grouped however you've set it up to be grouped.

00:03:07 So that's the easiest way to get into it.

00:03:11 So any time you get an email saying that there's a new comment, you want to click on the email,

00:03:15 open it up, and see if the response is required. Sometimes it's just an update. There's no response

00:03:22 required. Sometimes you need to actually answer a question. And that's the end of this video.
