Library Plans

Library Plans can be used in a variety of ways. Library Plans can be used to house your content that is common across multiple locations or audiences. Administrators can then select icons from the Library Plan to include one or more of them into a “normal” plan. This “normal” plan can be at a sub organization level or within the main level of an Online Portal account. Content updates made to the Library Plan will automatically update the normal plans connected to it.

 

Library Plans can also be used to add another layer of information inside a plan, known as Plan-in-Plan. The Library plan can be created as one entire piece of content that, when a user taps the icon on their device, will open a new layer of event icons to select from. You can have an infinite number of Plan-in-Plan layers.
