Planview AdaptiveWork
Overview
Planview AdaptiveWork (formerly Clarizen) is a PPM tool that enables project managers and delivery teams to collaborate, share ideas, and execute on what is important. Connect disconnected teams to maximize project outcomes, and engage your workforce across the organization. By connecting AdaptiveWork to other tools in the Planview Hub portfolio, PMO’s can gain visibility and streamline communication between all teams within the software development lifecycle. Reduce overhead and manage workflows by integrating AdaptiveWork with Hub.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Synchronizes artifacts across the lifecycle, allowing information to flow freely between AdaptiveWork and other tools
-
Improves collaboration between the PMO, development, test, the service desk and more
-
Provides visibility to PMO office of the status of ongoing projects
-
Supports cross-tool traceability and reporting, removing the need for manual processes and spreadsheets
Connector Setup Details
This section describes the basic steps needed to prepare your AdaptiveWork instance for use with Hub. Note that additional fields for synchronization or configuration of queries may be required depending on the requirements of your integration.
Minimal User Permissions & Hub User
We recommend that you create a new user within your external tool, to be used only for your Hub integration. This is the user information you will enter when setting up your repository connection within Planview Hub. By creating a new user, you will ensure that the correct permissions are granted, and allow for traceability of the modifications that are made by the synchronization.
In general, your user account should have sufficient permissions to create, read, and update artifacts in your repository. However, depending on the use case, your user may need different permissions. For example, if you are only interested in flowing data out of your repository, your user may not need to have full CRUD access, as the 'create' and 'update' permissions may not be needed.
Your user should have a secure password or token. Please be aware that Hub will not allow you to save a repository connection utilizing a weak password/token, such as 'tasktop.'
See instructions on how to add a custom user in AdaptiveWork.
List of minimal permissions:
-
The Hub User needs to have the Integration User permission checked. This can be configured on the People screen by the admin user.
-
The Hub User needs to have the Financial permission checked. This can be configured on the People screen by the admin user.
-
The Hub User needs to have the Super User permission checked. This can be configured on the People screen by the admin user.
-
The Hub User should have Admin permissions checked. This can be configured on the People screen by the admin user.

Supported Field Types
Note: If one field of a given type is supported, others that are also that type in theory should also work. However, sometimes there are instances in which this is not the case due to the repository. So, while we can claim support for fields at the type level, there is a chance that some specific fields of a given type will not synchronize properly.
