  • How do I use SharePoint Planner?

    SharePoint Planner is delivered as a SharePoint WebPart. Once installed on a SharePoint server you add it to a WebPart page and then configure it to display data from one of your Lists.

  • Does SharePoint Planner have advanced project management features?

    No - SharePoint Planner is not intended to replace project management software for complex projects. It allows you to take existing data that you store in your SharePoint site and display it in several useful ways. You may wish to look into Microsoft Project and Project Server for advanced project management features.

  • Does SharePoint Planner need any client software of ActiveX/Java Applets installed?

    No - it works using standard HTML only, no client software is required.

  • I can not see my List in the Planner Source dropdown list?

    SharePoint Planner needs list items to have both a Start and End date and therefore can only use lists that have at least 2 date columns.

  • How do I display a milestone?

    If your list item doesn't have a End date or the End date/Time is the same as the Start date/time then it will be displayed as a milestone.

  • I can not see my field in the Progress dropdown list?

    A field must be defined as Number and Show as percentage in the Edit Column settings to appear under the Progress drop down list.

    Also, if the field was created using a solution installed into the GAC but without AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers attribute then Planner will not be able to use it.

  • What languages does SharePoint Planner support?

    SharePoint Planner supports all of the language packs for SharePoint that have been released by Microsoft, including those languages that use a non-Roman alphabet and require Unicode support, however the Administration interface and error messages are currently only available in in English
