Hiding/filtering recurring tasks in planner

Currently, there is no specific functionality in the Board view of Microsoft Planner that allows you to hide or filter future recurring tasks like the option available in the Schedule view. The Board view does not support filtering or ordering tasks by date directly.

However, you can manage your tasks by marking them complete, and while they will reappear in the bucket with a due date for the following year, you may want to consider using task labels or custom fields to categorize tasks in a way that helps you manage visibility until you are ready to start the next cycle in September.

For more specific features or updates, you may want to keep an eye on the Microsoft Planner updates or provide feedback through the Microsoft feedback channels.

Hi @Cyndi Soter O'Neil 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.  

Thank you for reaching out and sharing how your team uses Planner for yearly cycles. I understand how helpful it would be to keep your Board view clean until you’re ready to start the next cycle. 

Currently, Planner only offers the “Hide future recurring tasks” option in Schedule view. In Board view, there isn’t a built-in way to hide or delay showing future recurring tasks after you mark them complete. 

Here are a few workarounds you might consider: 

1/ Filter by due date 

• Use the filter option to show tasks due within a specific range (e.g., next 30 days). 
• You may find further guidance here: Manage your tasks in Microsoft Planner 

2/ Group by due date 

• Switch grouping from buckets to due dates for better visibility. 
• To learn more, please visit: Organize your project in Board view - Microsoft Support 

3/ Future bucket or labels 

• Move next-year tasks to a “Future” bucket or apply a label like “Next Year,” then filter when needed. 
• You may find further guidance here:
