MC688929 FindTime add-in is being removed and replaced with Scheduling Poll as a native feature要約

  • 2023年11月14日

Add-inとAdd-onは厳密に言うとちょっと違うんですが、大体同じで機能拡張するものと捉えてOKです。

FindTimeという機能がOutlookから消えて、代わりに「スケジュールの投票」が付くという内容です。
最速で行ったら12/11から消える予定で、遅くともその週中に変更が完了するとのことです。
FindTimeの機能としては、いくつかの会議時間の候補を参加者に送って日程を調整してくれる機能で、全ての出席必須な人が参加出来る日をスケジュールとして入れてくれるという感じです。

Scheduling Poll も大体同じ機能で、全てのOutlookにデフォルトで入っているものです。
現状ではOutlook on the Webとマックで有効ですが、ちょっとWindowsのデスクトップ版の更新チャネル周りが複雑です。

Scheduling Poll is currently available to all users of Outlook on the Web and Mac. It is available to Classic Outlook for Windows users in Current Channel, Monthly Enterprise Channel, and Semi-Annual Enterprise Preview. It will become available to Classic Outlook users on the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel in January 2024, and to the Semi-Annual Extended Channel in June 2024.

Windows版Classic Outlookユーザーは、Current Channel、Monthly Enterprise Channel、およびSemi-Annual Enterprise Previewで利用可能です。2024年1月にはSemi-Annual Enterprise ChannelのClassic Outlookユーザーが、2024年6月にはSemi-Annual Extended ChannelのClassic Outlookユーザーが利用できるようになる予定です。

この辺りの制限に引っかかる場合、別の更新チャネルに変えるもしくはWeb版で代用する必要があります。また、投票の管理に関してはFindTimeダッシュボードのままです。

更新チャネル次第ではちょっとユーザーが不便になる可能性があるため、社内で使っている人がいるかどうか要確認といった感じです。

メッセージの概要

The FindTime add-in will stop working and be removed from Outlook for Windows, Web and Mac. Scheduling Poll is the replacement feature, which is built directly into Outlook clients for all users as a native feature. 

When this will happen:

You can expect the FindTime add-in to stop working as early as December 11, 2023. We will start making the change on December 11, 2023, and expect to complete it by the end of that week.

How this will affect your organization:

Once the change has rolled out users will need to utilize Scheduling Poll as a replacement of the FindTime add-in.

Scheduling Poll is currently available to all users of Outlook on the Web and Mac. It is available to Classic Outlook for Windows users in Current Channel, Monthly Enterprise Channel, and Semi-Annual Enterprise Preview. It will become available to Classic Outlook users on the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel in January 2024, and to the Semi-Annual Extended Channel in June 2024.

Users who do not have access to Scheduling Poll yet can either switch to the Current Channel, Monthly Enterprise Channel, or Semi-Annual Enterprise Preview in Classic Outlook for Windows; or they can use Outlook on the Web to create polls.

Note: this change only affects poll creation; poll management can still be done through the FindTime dashboard – https://outlook.office.com/findtime/dashboard.

What you need to do to prepare:

You may consider updating your training and documentation as appropriate as users will get this change automatically as it progresses through the deployment rings. For more information on using Scheduling Poll, please refer to the relevant support articles
