Configuration properties are system-level settings that control global behavior of Nextedy PLANNINGBOARD across all board instances in a Polarion project.
This section covers the four property groups: appearance, capacity, Teams Service integration, and scripting.
Appearance Properties
Control the visual presentation of the board: card colors, highlighting rules, and custom-enum color mappings.
Capacity Properties
Configure calendar fallback for users without a personal calendar, and capacity modifier fields on team work items.
Teams Service Properties
Configure the Teams Service integration used to resolve team membership and assignee-based swimlane capacity.
Scripting Properties
Register scripting hooks that extend board behavior: item scripts, config scripts, and data scripts.
Configuration properties are set once at the project or system level and affect all board instances. Widget parameters are set per board instance directly in the Polarion page editor. When you need to tune a single board’s layout, swimlanes, or Plan query, use widget parameters. When you need to change behavior that applies to every board in the project — such as capacity normalization rules or scripting hooks — use configuration properties.
Configuration properties are administered through the Polarion administration interface, not through the page editor. Navigate to Administration > Nextedy PLANNINGBOARD to view and edit these properties for the current project.
Values for capacity configuration properties must not have leading or trailing whitespace. Unexpected spaces in capacity property values cause silent misreads at runtime. Always verify values exactly as entered.
