Help me find the Teams that contain my forms

When I navigate to https://forms.microsoft.com I see all the Microsoft Teams. Even ones, with no Forms in them, or which have been inactive forever. That’s a lot of visual noise.

Moreover, the Teams seem to be randomly ordered.  It would be nice if they were ordered by last updated by default and we could choose a different ordering (e.g. Alphabetical) if we wanted.

Help me be able to find the team easier by 

  • Hiding Teams with 0 forms
  • Allowing Teams to be ordered by last updated and alphabetically.
Figure: See red box – There are a bunch of teams with 0 forms, they should all be hidden by default!

Automatically move a Microsoft Form created from a template into a Team

When I create a Microsoft Form from a template, I must follow an arduous process to get the Form into the right team so we can track the data.

First, it goes into my personal teams, then I must move it to a team, then I need to add it to a tab, then I must move the excel file to the folder I want!

Instead, there should be an option to choose which team and folder the form goes in.

See this video for the current steps, I’m proposing that most of these steps should be automated:

Figure: Save me from teaching people to do all these steps because they never remember!

Help me see a leaderboard

When I look at Microsoft Viva Insights, I can see the people I communicate most with, but not whether it’s going up or down over time.

I want to see the trend so I know who I should spend some more time with.

It should show how far up or down someone has moved, similar to a leaderboard.

Figure: The gain or loss arrow gives a nice indicator of change in position
Figure: I should be able to see who has done more or less communication this month

Help me see sparklines in the drilldown

When I look at Microsoft Viva Insights, I can see the people I communicate most with, but not whether it’s going up or down over time.

I want to see the trend so I know who I should spend some more time with.

When you drill down into someone’s communication habits we should see 3 spark lines

  • For email
  • For meetings
  • For calls and chats
Figure: Sparklines are great for giving a drilled down view
Figure: I should be able to see a trend of communication habits via sparklines 

Help me order results by the order we define the options in

I think this would be affecting every Microsoft Forms customer who reads the results. 
When I look at results on the Microsoft Form, they can be ordered alphabetically, or by user, or by date filled. However, I cannot order them by the order I wrote the original questions in.

Therefore, I currently solve this by prefixing every question with a number, so it orders by the number.

Instead, there should be an option to sort by the order of the options (and it should be the default order).

Figure: As a workaround, we use numbers to order by option type, but it would be better if this was built-in

Help me deploy the right Azure resources from GitHub Actions

There have been awesome improvements to the GitHub Actions “New Workflow” screen as per the blog: Getting started with GitHub Actions just got easier!

Suggestion #1 – Give love to Azure’s Static Site offerings

When adding a GitHub action for a Gatsby GitHub project, in “Deployment” it prompts to “Deploy Node.js to Azure Web App” even though it should suggest these 2 resources:

  • “Azure Static Web Apps”
  • “Static website hosting in Azure Storage”
Figure: Bad example – This repo is a Gatsby app but it doesn’t suggest any static Azure solutions

Suggestion #2 – Give love to Azure Bot Framework

When adding a GitHub action for an Azure Bot Framework GitHub Project, in “Deployment” it prompts to “Deploy .NET Core app to an Azure Web App”, it should also suggest resources like

  • “Azure Bot Service”
  • “Language Understanding (LUIS)”
Figure: Bad example – This repo contains Azure Bot Framework code but it doesn’t suggest resources for Azure Bot Framework and LUIS
