The People Planner Windows Application
There are clear parallels between the embedded People Planner Components and the People Planner Windows Application itself:
- MyPlan corresponds to the Scheduler view in the People Planner Windows Application.
- The Budgeting Assistant and the Progress Evaluation Assistant do not have direct counterparts in People Planner. They would correspond to a PG (Project Manager Gantt Chart) plus an RG (Resources Gantt Chart) that only shows the currently selected budget line.
- The Resourcing Overview in the WSC and the Resourcing workspace in the web client corresponds to the PG and the RG combined.
- The Resource Management corresponds to the RG.
The following two figures illustrate this relationship for the Resourcing Overview.
The Resourcing Overview
The People Planner Windows Application – PG over RG
The functionality in both is therefore naturally related. The following table describes some notable differences.
In the People Planner Application | In the Resourcing Overview / Resourcing workspace | In Resource Plans |
---|---|---|
The PG shows as many projects as you want. You can use filters to restrict this. | The PG shows exactly one project. | The PG shows as many projects as you want. You can use filters to restrict this. |
