If you are a Domain Administrator, you can create one or multiple plans for a facility. Several standard plan configurations are available at the domain level. Start with one of these configurations and make changes as needed for the particular facility.
While only one plan can be active at any given time, being able to set up additional plans supports a facility's transition from one plan to another.
Note: You can create only one plan based on a given configuration.
Options
The system presents several options when creating a new plan.
It is recommended that you copy the base configuration's plan library and IRG content and also select both copy options: Copy entire plan and Copy entire Resource Documents folder.
This ensures you do not have to start from scratch. In the Create New Plan window, these options are selected by default.
After saving the new plan, you can add to, edit, and delete files, IRGs, and other elements as necessary.
Note: The Create New Plan window contains the Download Instructions link. Click the link to access a quick reference guide that walks you through the processes of creating a plan and copying candidates to it.
