Handy Planner (PagePlanning)

HandyPlanner is a light client that interacts with the WoodWing StudioServer planning API.
Trough this API layouts can be planned in an Issue.

A video showing HandyPlanner functionality can be viewed here

HandyPlanner will allow you to re-arrange the pages in an issue. The functionality is :

  • Move pages to a new position, pages will respect their odd/even pagenumber
  • Insert page locations to create more space. All existing pages will be moved up in pagenr.
  • Delete page locations to reduce space. All existing pages will be moved down in pagenr.
  • Place a template page, this will result in a new Layout being created.
  • New pages created in InDesign will automatically be 'planned' if the assigned page positions are free
  • Placing a layout with multiple pages will automatically create space in the plannning
  • Trigger InDesignServer to update the page-numbers of moved Layouts
  • Use Sections to seperate the responsible teams.
  • View Layouts in Planned order.

Depending on access-profile settings, the HandyPlanner plugin will also take care that your Publication Overview will show the pages as they are planned in the Issue.

HandyPlanner is not supposed to be a full size planning system, there are others that are already have great products for that.
