Planning

Overview

The Planning module is designed to facilitate organizational design exercises. Multiple planners can collaborate in real-time to restructure any branch of an organization.

A planner can participate as one of the following three roles:

  • Viewer - Read plans that have been shared with that user.

  • Collaborator - Update plans that have been shared with that user

  • Plan Owner - Synchronize plans you've created against the source data and share your plans with Viewers and/or Collaborators.

Note

Not all users have access to Planning.

Your OrgChart administrator can grant you access by upgrading your Role to Read/Write, and enabling Planning in your UI Profile.

Important

Administrators can share, modify, delete, lock, and archive any plan within the account. even those that have not been directly shared with that user.
