Integrate with Planview Hub/Viz (Beta)

ProjectPlace exposes boards and cards data through a "Universal Connector" so that it can be integrated into Planview Hub and Viz.

The implementation allows both fetching and updating information about cards in a board context.

BETA

The Universal Connector for ProjectPlace - for integrations (Planview Hub) and flow metrics (Planview Viz) is to be considered a beta offering. Based on feedback and design decisions we may introduce breaking functionality and/or endpoint changes. Therefore, use it for exploratory purposes and for non-business critical implementations.

To get started:

1. Activate the Universal Connector for Hub/Viz in ProjectPlace

In order to get ProjectPlace Boards/Cards data into either Planview Hub or Viz - you must first follow these steps in ProjectPlace.

  1. As an Account Owner or Account Co-Owner go to Account administration > Settings > Integration settings
  2. Find the heading "Planview Universal Connector (PUC)"
  3. Click "Create code"
  4. Copy the code (you will see it only once)
  5. If you forget the code you will have to redo this operation from scratch
  6. Take a note of which subdomain you are on in the address bar as you do this, e.g. https://your-company.projectplace.com - you will need this subdomain as you set up the connector in either Hub or Viz.
