Plans

A plan contains assets that are grouped in tasks. These tasks can represent discrete tasks or contributions that must be completed in a planning or budgeting process. Each task in a plan must be completed by contributing data to the books, views, and websheets in the task.

Plans are created by Planning Analytics Workspace administrators, analysts, and modelers. The plan creator can give owner permissions for the plan to other users. When you log in to Planning Analytics Workspace, the plans that you can use appear at the bottom of the home page on the Your Applications tab. Plans are identified by the Plan icon icon.

You can view the details of a plan from either the home page or the Applications and Plans page. The details page shows the status, announcements, tasks, and assets for a plan.

While the details page is largely a 'read-only' snapshot of a plan, you can click any asset to open the full contribution page for the plan.

To view the details of a plan, use one of the following methods:

  • If you are a user with the Full control permission, click the Options icon Options menu icon on the plan tile, then click Details. You can also click the Options icon Options menu icon for the plan in the Applications and Plans page, then click Details.
  • If you are a contributor, click the plan tile on the home page to open the plan details. You can also click the plan name in the Applications and Plans page to view plan details.
