Make Power BI published reports print properly

By Ulysses MacLaren in Power BI 0 Comment

If trying to print a report from the web published view (i.e. https://app.powerbi.com/view…….etc.) , it zooms in on the middle right of the report, instead of printing the full page.

Figure: Bad Example – Print view of a Power BI report from the web published view zooms in to the middle of the report

Figure: Good Example – If you’re properly logged into the Power BI portal, the report prints fine

This needs to be fixed.

Unnecessary notification groups

By Adam Cogan in Teams 0 Comment

1. Why is this notification for a team shown in the “Activity” and not the “Teams” group

2. Why do we have the “Activity” tab at all? I don’t think it’s needed.

3. Furthermore, do we even need the “Teams” tab. I don’t think so, I’d like them all together like Skype

Help me Clean Conversations…I see too much noise!

Please make Teams work nicely for those that have OCD :-)

  1. If I delete a message. I am OK with seeing “This message has been deleted” for a little while
    But then I want an option to get rid of it. Eg. a cross “x” to get rid of that too
  2. If I delete a message, I want the thread deleted too (see red arrow below)
  3. If I install a bot, ask for some help, then realize I didn’t like it. I now want it *all* gone.
    Currently, I can remove the bot, and my own message to the bot, just not the 2 message from the bot (see below)

Help me move off Skype, auto add the contacts

By Adam Cogan in Teams 0 Comment

I’m not sure if you’ll agree with this but I thought I’d pass it on.

My personal assistant Joanna is reluctantly moving off Skype.

What should her first experience be? Should ‘Chat’ have a list of names even before chatting to anyone?

She just pinged me and said:

Okay, I’ve switched from Skype to Teams. I’ve been added to the team called “SSW”. When I go to chat to someone, I expect to see all the people in those teams. I feel like I am starting afresh and almost need to add all my Skype contacts again manually. This is not the starting experience I expected.

Figure: Joanna’s first experience is this… no names…

Help me create a new page

By Adam Cogan in Sharepoint Online (Office365) 0 Comment
  1. In o365, click New and users get 3 options. Which option should I use?
  2. I think you’ll say the 3rd one. The new one. I think Microsoft should bold the 3rd one and move it to the top. Right?
  3. Are the first 2 basically the same, with the 2nd one giving more extensibility?
  4. Do you think those first 2 legacy choices should be combined?
  5. If not I’d change the name of the 2nd option from “Web Part Page” to “Wiki Page with Layout options”
  6. Do you think the 3rd option “Site Page” should be renamed to “Modern Page”
  7. In general marketing terms I think “web part” is dated and they have a bad history – call the new ones “widgets” please

Figure: Confusion will ensure here…

Help me do less clicking by showing number of items

By Adam Cogan in iOS App 0 Comment

Dear Microsoft Teams,

I’d love to do less clicking… seeing nothing… and then going back.

E.g. An example of that kind of frustration would be clicking on “Files” (when there is nothing in that folder) then seeing nothing and going back.

And get

Can you change the iPhone mobile app to show the number of items by default?

From:

   Files
   Wiki

To

   Files (0)
   Wiki (4)

Help me be able to use @team (in Microsoft Teams and Azure DevOps Work Items)

By Adam Cogan in Azure DevOps, Teams 0 Comment

Dear Microsoft Teams Team

You might have already thought about this, but I find myself wanting to notify everyone in the team… so intuitively I just want to type ‘all’

Suggestion: We should be able to use @team or @all instead of typing out the current team’s name.

Figure: Here I would prefer to type “@team” instead of the team name “@Mark & Adam”

Dear Azure DevOps Team

It goes without saying I’d like other Microsoft products to work in a similar way.

The most pressing would be Azure DevOps work items.

Figure: Here I would love to be able to address the whole team with “@team”
