Managing Planview.Me views

To implement Planview.Me, you must create at least one Planview.Me view, which is a display container to which you add one or more widgets. When you create a view, you first specify a name and description for it, and then add and configure one or more widgets.

Widgets contain data from a Planview product, for example, a roadmap view from Planview Roadmaps or a project status view from Portfolios.

You can adjust the height and width of widgets within the available space within a section in the designer. Each widget has a minimum and maximum width and height to ensure its contents are displayed properly. Widgets are responsive, which means the number of widgets that are displayed in a row in Planview.Me, and the contents of each widget are automatically adjusted to be displayed according to the available horizontal space. 

To add a widget to a view, you drag it from the widget library to the view, where the widgets are organized in sections. The number of widgets that can be dragged into the same section depends on their combined maximum widths. The number of instances of a widget that can be added to a view depends on the data. Widgets that can be configured to display different data or to display the same data in different ways can be added to the view multiple times. Other widgets can only be added to a view once. When the maximum number of instances of a widget have been added to a view, the widget disappears from the library.
