ProjectPlace

Right now all meetings are in Microsoft Teams, Channel Chats, Individual Chats, documents are stored in Teams etc. How do other companies incorporate that Execution into the Planview Suite and their workflows?

 We’re excited to announce that Anvi Chat in ProjectPlace now supports action-oriented use cases.What’s new:Create and update cards (single or multiple) directly through chat Move cards between activities within the same board Move cards across columns within a boardThese enhancements enable teams to take action faster and manage work more efficiently - right from within Anvi Chat.Simply go into ProjectPlace and ask Anvi a few questions like the following:Can you assign myself as co-assignee to all cards in the "Marketing communication" activity? Create a card for "Finalize project plan", add a description, assign it to me, and set the due date to this Friday. Move all cards from the activity “Marketing communication” to “Campaign Execution” on this board. Important: If you're interested in joining the Labs program, please use the registration link—we’d love to have you onboard and hear your feedback.Feel free to message me or email me at ananya.singh@planview.com if you have any quest

Has anyone used the SmartSheet import in ProjectPlace yet? We are vetting the possibility of replacing SmartSheet but I want to make sure it will work for our needs. What are some key takeaways those that have used it have?

We’re struggling with KPI management in ProjectPlace due to the way permissions work. Any user who has access to create or view a portfolio also has the ability to add, modify, or delete KPIs—and things can get messy very quickly.We’ve communicated to our Portfolio Admins that KPIs are shared across all teams using ProjectPlace, and that they should not deactivate or modify KPIs without broader consideration. Usually this message lands and things work out—but it only takes one rogue user to create chaos 😯.We experienced this again last week when a group renamed a large number of KPIs to “deleted” and marked them as deactivated because they decided they no longer wanted to use them. These admins had originally created the KPIs some time ago, so they felt they “owned” them and should be able to dispose of them—despite the KPIs being in use elsewhere.One idea we’re considering is assigning each group its own KPI category that they are responsible for managing. We would make it clear to a

Hello Projectplace Community, one inquiry I had is whether Copilot within Projectplace (AI Chatbot) has the same sort of implementation that it does with portfolios in terms of how it manages it’s data processing (i.e sending data back to copilot post-inquiry). We’re quite strict on how our data is managed and when the copilot feature initially came to Portfolios we took it back to our CSM and they notified us that our data does not get stored in a dedicated server, it will feedback into copilot and thus we disabled that functionality. If the feature in Projectplace does the same then we will most likely be unable to make use of the functionality once again. Any and all thoughts are appreciated. 

Hi, I am new in Project Place and I wonder if someone can explain the following…in the wbs breakdown I can see there are activities created which looks like more a “grouping” activity than the activity itself. I mean, look at the attachment. The activity 3.1 has a left icon similar to the activity 3, while the activity 3.1.1 has a different green icon (like the big majority of all others).Why exactly? If I want to create a new activity, for example, 2.1 under the activity 2, how can I add a new one but not with the green icon, but with the same activity 2 icon like in the picture?   

In a Project Place Template, updates were made and I need to remove activities that were once associated with the board.  It is very clear how to add the plan activities, but I was not able to find a reference to remove a plan activity.  I want to remove the “gray” activities.  Any direction is very much appreciated.  Joe. 

We’re excited to announce the Labs release of an upcoming ProjectPlace feature – Card Mirroring!With this new capability, you can mirror cards across boards and workspaces - keeping key details like titles, descriptions, assignees, checklists, and more automatically in sync. It’s designed to reduce manual work and improve collaboration across teams and projects. Sign up today! 

Hello.  Is there a configuration setting with Project Place documents to force that documents be checked out and checked in?  We have as part of project specific documentation for active portfolio projects were we would like to have only check in and check out capability for our “quality” documents.  If there is customer solution documentation that I can be referred to - that input would be greatly benificial.  Thank you.

I’m getting an “Invalid parent wbs reference” when importing a CSV file to an existing ProjectPlace plan.  WBS 21.4 exists as an Activity in the Plan.  I want to import activities under 21.4 so my line items in my CSV file are number numbered “21.4.1”, 21.4.2”  (and so on) in the CSV file.  There are no extra spaces nor any periods at the end.  What am I doing wrong?

I understand how to make a copy of a board in a PP Template.  I have not figured out how to “paste” that into the other PP Template workspace.  The help on this topic says it is possible, but it does not give the instructions on how to “paste” that copied board.  Thank you...

Some of our workspaces have 100+ cards in them.  Now that assignees can group their “My Work” by Dependencies in their “My Overview” it has helped our assignees immensely.  However our PMs are left hunting through their workspaces to see which assignees have cards that are ready for work “With done dependencies” so that they can follow up.  They can’t go by due dates, as often certain channels of flow in the workspace get behind so the card could be past due but not yet ready for work as it is waiting for the card(s) it is dependent on.  We have submitted 2 ideas to help with this:Done dependencies filter on Boardhttps://projectplaceideas.spigit.com/workandcollaboration/Page/ViewIdea?ideaid=3243Update Sorting options on Teams Page to match Home Overviewhttps://projectplaceideas.spigit.com/workandcollaboration/Page/ViewIdea?ideaid=2913However we’d love to know how others are handling this right now?*We are integrated with PPM and use that for reporting, however the dependency status of

I have multiple activities assigned to me and I've created multiple cards per activity to break down the tasks required to complete the activity. How can I assign a priority to each activity and to each card to ensure I'm always working on the highest priority tasks at any given time? Example: - Activity: Proof-of-Concept Server Build (Priority: LOW)    + Card: Gather specs for server (Pri: 1)    + Card: Deploy PoC Server, IP Address, Hostname, Domain Join (Pri: 2)    + Card: Configure User/Group access, Network/FW rules (Pri: 3)    + Card: Install software, tools, copy files/folders (Pri: 3)- Activity: Disaster Recovery Exercise (Priority: MED)    + Card: Determine apps in scope, timeframe, assets required, budget, testing needed (Pri: 1)    + Card: Assign team contacts, tasks for each team, deadlines & milestones (Pri: 2)    + Card: Build exercise platform, server/network deployments, backup/replication jobs (Pri: 3)    + Card: Testing procedures, expected results, measurement cr

HiMaybe I’ve missed this, but I can not seem to see the due date of cards on the timeline Gannt. I got this response from AI saying the cards are visible (which they are below), but want to see them on the timeline similar to the view in Portfolios. Here is the best view I can produce. In the example I want to see the card due date of 4 October on the timeline. Is this possible? 

I have a user that would like to create template cards with child / parent relationships and then be able to duplicate the pairings. Is there a way to do this with automation or another method?

A couple of weeks ago, somebody managed to switch off the ‘Use ProjectPlace’ global setting which supports the syncing of PP cards with Portfolios (we’re still trying to work out how this happened...)That’s left us with 2 weeks worth of card updates which haven’t flowed through to Portfolios.  Many of these cards are now closed so will never be touched again.Does anyone know - Is there a way to force-sync ProjectPlace cards to update Portfolios actions?

We work very intensively with Kanban boards and the cards. The cards are usually assigned to several employees who work on the topics and work them out. For our daily work, we would very much like to be able to open the cards in a separate window, or at least to be able to adjust the size more variably in order to have better visibility of the content and thus significantly improve the work.  The lack of functionality for modern formatting of the texts in the cards generates little acceptance of the tool among our users. Every user has understandable expectations when it comes to formatting text, which are currently not met in the slightest, or only with great difficulty. (btw: formatting functionality in this text box is great!)Modernizing the cards and thus significantly improving the user experience is a high priority for us with regard to Projectplace as an accepted company-wide solution. We believe that we are not alone in this, as other customers certainly have similar difficulti

We are looking to move/import a large amount of stories created in Jira into a ProjectPlace workspace.  What is the best way of going about doing that without having to recreate them all one by one? Thank you,Kirsten

Hello, good afternoon.We were unable to identify the reason why the [Daily Trend Snapshot] application does not generate the information for all projects.What depends on whether some projects generate information and others do not?

Hello Everybody,I understand that:If there is a Cost Rate, calculate the costsIf Billing Rate this calculates the income.Then, when a resource reports hours:The costs of those hours are calculated with the Cost rate. This is OKHowever, the income is not calculated with the Billing rate. I found no Configuration Options to make this happen.

Hello Community,When following the instructions on the "Visualize Your ProjectPlace Data Using Power BI" page, I noticed there are no guidelines on how to connect Power BI when using SSO. Does anyone know how to configure this?Thank you.
