Planner and Card Deadlines

[Jo-Michelle Huczko]

Hi! I love the new Planner view.

I saw in this question thread (New Calendar View / Due Date Sync). It seems like cards which are both assigned to me and have a due date/time are supposed to show up on the Planner view. However, I am unable to see cards on my Planner view even if they match that criteria. 

I included a screenshot to show an example. I have the due date for the "Meeting" card set to 2:00 pm, and I am added to the card, but it still does not show up on the Planner.

Thank you for the help in advance.

Currently, there is no connection between the Planner time and the Due Date for the following reason:

• Due-Date represents when a task is due i.e. the deadline to complete it
• Whereas, the Planner represents a time block on your calendar to indicate when you plan to work on that task. For example, if a task is due next Friday that will take 4 hours to complete it, then you might block 1 hour each day Mon-Thu to complete it before the Friday deadline. 

I hope this makes sense.

However we are doing user testing right now and considering two updates for the future:

1. On each card, in addition to the due date, we will show the Planner time-blocks as well (to help you plan your work)
2. For cards that are assigned to you and have a due date, we will show them on the Planner (as an all-day event) to quickly see the deadlines
