Pentalogic Planner for SharePoint

Quick, easy and flexible Graphical Planning for

SharePoint

• Pentalogic Planner is for all those times when you need to plan quickly and effectively- without the complexity of a "Project Management" suite.

• Quick and easy to set up and use Planner offers you attractive and flexible graphical dashboard displays, ideal for all your daily task, resource and simple project planning needs.

• Planner provides wall chart or Gantt chart views of your SharePoint Task and Event list data, which are far more flexible and customizable than SharePoints built in calendar, whilst still being very easy to set up and manage.

Example Uses

Resource PlanningUse Planner to view bookings for rooms or equipment- and easily spot double bookings or under used resources.

Shift PlanningUse a category chart to organize and monitor your shift patterns - easily spotting when a shift is not adequately covered

Staff Vacation PlanningDisplay a classic wall planner style chart on your teams site to allow staff and managers to see at a glance when vacation can be booked, and when the department is understaffed.

Simple Project PlanningOrganize your projects with Gantt Charts. See Graphically how tasks are organised with Timelines and Milestones. Let team members update their own tasks straight from the web part view.
