How to Create a New Plan

Overview 

A plan schedules work for a client by linking a main customer, client, and team together on a chosen date and time, with a priority you set. Plans are how you lay out what your field team should do and when, so they form the backbone of day-to-day scheduling. You build a plan on the planner, confirm the date and time window, and save. Once created, the plan is ready for your team to act on.
