This section is intended for plan administrators, who are appointed by company subscription administrators. The plan administrator permission level is provided for the person responsible for setting up the plan, adding trades, adding users and other administrative elements. Learn more about permission levels.
Note: Other permission levels do not have access to these functions.
Project structure — work breakdown
Organize your project by plan, lane and activity
For larger construction projects, work is typically broken down into smaller, more manageable plans, often aligned with physical areas, phases or zones. A single project can contain multiple plans, depending on its size and complexity.
Each plan in Nialli™ Visual Planner contains multiple lanes that are used to organize work by trade, discipline or team.
Note: While there is no limit to the number of lanes you can create, keep in mind that having too many will make the plan harder to navigate — especially on large screens and touch displays.
Activities, tags and lanes
An activity represents a continuous stretch of work that can span multiple days. Each activity is visualized as a horizontal sequence of tags (one for each day).
- Tags are the core units of work in Visual Planner — they represent a single day’s worth of work in an activity for a specific trade, assigned to a specific lane.
- Activities can span across multiple lanes and dependencies can be created between tags to reflect relationships between tasks.
Note: Dependencies between tags help identify handoffs and ensure sequencing is understood — especially when activities cross multiple trades.
