MS Forms suggested upgrades
Greetings, I've been using MS Forms for a while now. I love the concept and how it works but I think its a bit limiting. I strongly suggest the improvements listed below. 1) Add static information text fields to forms that are not numbered and are not for user response. 2) Have the ability to use 2 images, a separate form Header image and different Image for the background. 3) The ability to change the default text on the button from, "Start Now" to something more appropriate with the form.
Viva no longer providing schedule send options
In Outlook (desktop, classic) Viva prompts to suggest scheduling emails at a good time, as illustrated below, which is great. Previously, clicking "Schedule send" opened a Viva panel that let you confirm the time at which you wished to schedule the send. Now, however, the panel opens with a bunch of irrelevant options and no option to schedule the send: How do I now get Viva to actually schedule the send for this email? Thanks
Viva Insights yields better results than Copilot
Is the Viva Insights Suggested Tasks being retired because Microsoft wants to sell more licenses for Copilot? I have tried to prompt Copilot to give me the same level of detail that Viva Insights gives. I have not had any prompts in M365 Chat that have worked as successfully as Viva Insight. What suggested prompts do you have that have worked in Copilot to give the same level of detail? From Microsoft Message Center Retiring of Suggested Tasks Insight Type MC714517 · QVC, INC. We will be retiring the 'suggested tasks' insight type which may appear on profile cards on Teams and Outlook When this will happen: We will begin rolling out in early March 2024 and expect to complete by late March 2024. How this affects your organization: After this change, users will no longer see the 'suggested tasks' insight type on profile cards. What you need to do to prepare: You may consider updating your training and documentation as appropriate. If your organization is AI-powered, Copilot offerings such as Microsoft 365 Chat may help users stay on top of their work. Learn more about Microsoft 365 Chat. Learn more about suggested tasks
viva insights is not working properly in sending scheduled email messages
look at this one down here, viva insights has this thing where you can schedule the action of sending emails, it prompts you this esp when the recipient is not in the working hours that are known to the exchange server. it works best with ms solutions. anyway, the action buttons that are supposedly beneficial to be used after you set up your message and clicked on send to schedule it to be sent at whatever date and time you set for it, do not work at all. all of them (send, don't send, feedback). the reason is unknown for me. like for that example up there, i can't action on the already scheduled email even if i changed my mind later on and want to stop it from being dispatched. that email is going there... whatever what! it just throws you this message "something went wrong" what could be the reason for this one? can someone put their insights... got it?!Viva Insights integration with Qualtrics/Workday/Glint
Our customers have shared with us that they’d like to generate new organizational insights by combining Viva Insights data with Human Resources and engagement survey data. We're exploring ways to make this easier, building on our integration we released with survey partner Qualtrics. As part of that exploration, we’d like to hear from you on how you're likely to use this data and how we can help. We're inviting you to join us in a limited pilot where we'd join these data sets to explore scenarios like: Reducing regrettable attrition: join HR data on who is leaving the company with Viva Insights metrics on behaviors that could be causing it, such as low manager 1:1 time, low focus time, high after hours collaboration time, etc. Improving diversity and inclusion: join HR data on different demographics with metrics related to inclusion, such as influence score, network size, time with skip level manager, etc. Improving engagement and reducing burnout: join survey data on employee engagement and burnout with metrics on behaviors that can reduce worker satisfaction, such as high after-hours collaboration, long workweek span, low focus time, etc. Improving manager effectiveness: join survey data on employee satisfaction with coaching from their manager with metrics on related behaviors, such as meeting hours with skip level manager, meeting hours with manager, 1:1 meeting hours with manager, etc. Peer analysis: join HR data on top performers with metrics on common work behaviors to set goals for those wanting to be top performers Other scenarios you may have in mind (suggestions welcome) To join, you will need to be using the following: Microsoft Viva Insights (formerly known as Workplace Analytics) One or all of the following: Workday for HR data Qualtrics for survey data Glint Employee Engagement Surveys If you are willing to provide some feedback, please fill out the information in the survey here: link to survey.
Protect Time Doesn't Auto Set Recurring Plan Appointments to Private
Location Settings -> Protect Time -> Configure your recurring plan for focus Suggestion Please add a radial select, button, dropdown, etc. to allow for us to set our focus appointments within Viva Insights to "private" automatically. Issue When I configured my recurring plan, it's great. It works as intended and appears to setup a new plan automatically, for two-week increments (the current week and the next week). What it doesn't allow, is for me to set my automatic privacy settings. I personally would like mine set to private due to calendar sharing. I have to go in and manually select each appointment to make them private which is definitely more work than I hoped for. Overall, I love this feature because prior to Viva Insights, I was doing this all manually. Thank you for the innovation!
