The Reference section is the complete technical lookup for Nextedy PLANNINGBOARD.
Widget Parameters covers the most frequently used options — they control what Plans appear as columns, how swimlanes are grouped, and how capacity is tracked. If you are setting up a board for the first time, see Create Your First Planningboard first.
Widget parameters configure each individual board instance embedded in a Polarion page. Set them in the widget editor when inserting the board widget.Widget Parameters — Overview of all widget parameter groupsPlans (Columns) Parameters — Parameters that control which Plans appear as board columns and how they are queriedSwimlanes (Rows) Parameters — Parameters that control swimlane grouping, assignment type, sorting, and filteringWork Items Parameters — Parameters that control which work items appear on the board and how cards are renderedCapacity Parameters — Parameters that configure capacity bars, normalization, and effort tracking per swimlaneUI and Display Parameters — Parameters that control board appearance, card content, and highlighting rulesSAFe Parameters — Parameters specific to SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) planning boardsAdvanced Parameters — Low-level and infrequently changed parameters for specialized configurations
Configuration properties are system-wide settings applied at the server or project level. They are set in administration properties files rather than per-widget.Configuration Properties — Overview of all server-side configuration propertiesAppearance Properties — Properties that control default board appearance and card displayCapacity Properties — Properties that govern capacity calculation behaviour and normalization defaultsTeams Service Properties — Properties for the integrated Teams serviceScripting Properties — Properties that enable and configure the scripting extension points
The scripting and REST interfaces let you extend board behaviour programmatically.API Reference — Overview of all API surfacesScripting API — Entry point for board-level scriptingItem Script API — Methods available in per-card item scriptsConfig Script API — Methods available in board configuration scriptsData Script API — Methods for reading and transforming board data in scriptsREST API — HTTP endpoints exposed by the Planningboard serverTeams Service API — API for the Teams service integration
Assignment modes determine how swimlane rows are populated — which field or relationship maps each work item to a swimlane.Assignment Modes — Overview of all swimlane assignment typesAssignee Mode — Groups work items by their assigned userParent Item Mode — Groups work items by their parent work itemEnumeration Field Mode — Groups work items by the value of an enumeration custom fieldProject Mode — Groups work items by their Polarion projectSAFe Team Mode — Groups work items by SAFe Agile TeamSAFe Train Team Mode — Groups work items by SAFe Agile Release Train teamSAFe Programs Mode — Groups work items by SAFe ProgramNo Swimlanes Mode — Displays all work items in a single row with no grouping
Plans modes control how Plan columns are sourced — from standard Polarion Plans, or from SAFe planning structures.Plans Modes — Overview of all Plans column source typesProject Plans — Columns sourced from standard Polarion Plans in a projectSAFe Sprints — Columns sourced from SAFe Sprint PlansSAFe Program Increments — Columns sourced from SAFe Program Increment PlansSAFe Solution Trains — Columns sourced from SAFe Solution Train Plans
Field reference pages list the identifiers, types, and descriptions for fields used in widget parameters and scripts.Fields — Overview of all field categoriesWork Item Fields — Field identifiers for work item cards (type, status, priority, assignee, effort, custom fields)Plan Fields — Field identifiers for Plan columns (name, start date, due date, capacity)Resource Fields — Field identifiers for resource and capacity data
UI element pages describe each interactive control in the board interface — what it does and where to find it.UI Elements — Overview of all board UI controlsToolbar Controls — Buttons and controls in the board toolbarUnplanned Sidebar — The sidebar panel listing work items not yet assigned to a PlanCard Quick Actions — Actions available on hover over a cardSwimlane Controls — Controls on each swimlane row (collapse, expand, capacity indicator)License Panel — The license status and activation panel
