Often times task assigned don't end in one hour or a few hours or few days.  It would be nice to have a feature whereby I can select "To be completed in" 10 "weeks" or "days" or "hours".  So I can custom enter my number, but also custom choose how long the task will be:  weeks or days or months.  Something of the likes of a "Scheduling wheel cart" given out by our Vendors for advertising.  This neat feature if incorporated will give the user an instantaneous outlook of the forcast for specific tasks and can plan other items or make important schedule planning decisions.

Thanks for your suggestion, but it looks like an Outlook request, so I'd suggest you post to the Outlook forum.

Hi,

The Task is an Outlook feature which data is saved in mailbox in Exchange server. Since the issue is related to the Outlook feature instead of Exchange server, please refer to Ed Crowleys suggestion to ask a question in Outlook forum for more help:

The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
