Project Planner - What's New!

By the end of March 2022, a new version of all Can Do systems will be available. The cloud solutions have already been gradually upgraded to this new version. The on-prem systems can then also be updated internally within the companies.

With the "Filter" function under the "View" tab in the Gantt, specific resources under certain departments can be filtered. The work package with this resource assignment can be marked in red to give you a good overview. The function has been revised.


Undo and Trashcan in Project Planner

The "Undo" function under the "View" tab helps you undo your changes and go back to the last steps. In the "Trashcan" under "View," you can find deleted items (work packages, milestones, phases) and restore them in the project plan.
