Questions
One that keeps each job separate without making you set up a system first. In Palby Planner a project is a list with sections, steps and dates, and it opens as a list, a board or a calendar.
You don't, until a job has more than a few steps. Then a project keeps the move or the repaint in one place, and its steps still show on Today when they're due.
Yes. Today and Upcoming show everything that's due, and a saved filter like p1 or is:late shows a slice of it across every project.
Yes. Switch any project to Board and its sections become columns.
