Task Board palette

Palettes

You can use the Task Board palette to communicate with all those involved in a Bimplus project. In Allplan, you can access the tasks of the currently loaded Allplan project straight from Bimplus. In addition, you can use Allplan to create new tasks for Bimplus or edit existing tasks. You can also import or export tasks in BCF format or export the complete task list as an Excel table.

This is only possible if you have used the Allplan workstation to sign in to Bimplus and if the Allplan project is linked with a Bimplus project, that is to say, the Allplan project data has been uploaded to Bimplus at least once.

Note: See Handling projects using Allplan Bimplus in the for more information on handling projects in a BIM-compliant manner using Bimplus, the web service offered by ALLPLAN GmbH.
