  • maggiesMSFT edited Revision 22. Comment: Featuring the article on the Home Page of TechNet Wiki.

  • Congrats on this article being featured on the front page of TechNet Wiki!

  • Good article for someone starting up with Project Crescent.

  • Good one

  • Ed Price - MSFT edited Revision 29. Comment: Changed the See Also section at the bottom, which is a section title for other Wiki articles. We use "Community Resources" for external links.

  • Bill Ramos edited Revision 30. Comment: Update title and opening paragraphs to reflect the new name

  • Maggie,

    I noticed font size differences here, and it should also probably mention that it used to be called "Project Crescent" (since links to Project Crescent still lead here). Do you want to do those changes, or shall I? Thanks!

  • Ed Price - MSFT edited Revision 45. Comment: "TechNet Wiki" uppercase and equalized font size.

  • Thanks for sharing!

  • Thanks very much for the details. I am able to make crescent dashboards.  Can i have pirchart and KPI's in crescent? Adding that it could be a great presentation solution.

    cheers,

    Ashish
