Business value

This feature enables customization directly within the Task details pane. With this feature, there's no need to open forms outside the task grid. With a single click, users get a seamless, in-context experience without tab switching or workflow disruption. This empowers organizations with flexibility to tailor task views by adding, removing, or formatting fields to match their unique processes. This adaptability streamlines operations by enabling custom validations and triggering workflows directly from the pane, reducing manual effort and improving efficiency.

Feature details

In the task grid, when you select the i icon next to a task name, the Task details pane opens so you can enter more information. This pane is part of Microsoft Project for the web and is embedded in an iframe that makes it noncustomizable.

With this feature, you get a customizable task form. The form shows essential task attributes and lets you bring customization to the task pane. You can manage and track project tasks more easily in one place. This feature is managed through a feature flag in Project Parameters. When enabled, clicking the i icon opens a customizable task pane that lets you manage tasks and trigger business flows directly from the task grid. You can still access the standard Project task pane via the overflow menu, giving you complete flexibility to choose between the custom Dataverse task pane and the Office task pane based on your requirements.
