TeamConnect O365 4.2 Release Notes
Release Summary
This release includes bi-directional task synchronization between TeamConnect and O365 Add-In 4.2 To-Dos. This allows users to view, create, edit, complete, and delete tasks directly from the Add-in, with changes synced back to TeamConnect. It also introduces the ability to enable and disable O365 sub-features (Documents, Appointments, Tasks) in TeamConnect Admin Settings.
Note: The TeamConnect O365 Add-In is not supported on Outlook 2019 or earlier versions on the desktop.
Bi-directional integration/sync of tasks between TeamConnect and O365 To Do:
- When creating a task in TeamConnect, a checkbox will appear, and users can choose whether the task should be synced to O365. Tasks created in TeamConnect can be synced to Microsoft To-Do.
- Sync to Outlook: In TeamConnect’s Edit and View Task modes, users can select ‘Sync to Outlook’ under ‘More Options’ to display the task in both the Add-in and Microsoft To-Do.
- The following details are synced between TeamConnect and To-Do:
- Task Name
- Category: A new "TeamConnect" category is available in Microsoft To-Do for synced tasks.
- Changes to reminders, due dates, titles, and notes, as well as task completion and deletion.
- Users can copy a task in TeamConnect and sync it to O365 Add-in.
- Tasks will sync if the due date is later than the historical sync date (Office Suite Admin Settings).
- Tasks without a due date will only sync if the completion percentage is less than 100%.
- Only Tasks assigned to the logged-in user will be included in the sync.
- When updating a task in MS To-Do that violates an active rule in TeamConnect, the task will not be closed; the notes section of the Task will be updated to include the rule violation information, along with a timestamp.
- Mass Edit Sync: The "Sync to Outlook for Appointments via Mass Edit" feature allows users to efficiently update and synchronize multiple appointments with O365 Add-in simultaneously.
- View and Create Tasks: Users can now view and create tasks directly from the O365 Add-in. Please note custom fields are not supported for tasks created in the Add-in.
- Edit Tasks: Users can now edit Tasks in the O365 Add-in with updates syncing back to TeamConnect.
- Delete Tasks: Users can now delete Tasks from the O365 Add-in.

Configuring O365 Add-In Objects

These objects can be enabled or disabled in the TeamConnect Office settings. For detailed instructions, please refer to the Admin Guide for TeamConnect Add-In O365 4.2.
Task Migration
