Whiteboard

From Planfix
Jump to: navigation, search

The whiteboard is a list view of the planner that allows you to add blocks or tasks to a board and make the necessary connections between them to plan and implement business ideas visually. It's not just a "drawing" of charts but a part of Planfix that is directly connected to tasks:

The connections between tasks "live" only within a single whiteboard. This means you can drag and drop the same tasks from the planner list onto different maps, connecting them differently on each map.

Important

Don't confuse the connections on the map with the dependencies between the tasks in the "Dependencies" panel, which affect the tasks' scheduled start or end dates.
