Good Explanation Jomerce...However, after activating the app are there any more settings required to see data
on the screen? I currently see 'No data' when i open this app(for 1709 on premise). Would like to see a blog on
settings, if any, for PPDS related apps. Thanks.

Hi Mansi,

To display data it also requires correct "Area of responsibility assigned" . Also resources are assigned with
planner. Hope this helps.

Regards,

Krishna Rao
