7.31 Can I create a new job plan and assign it immediately to a task?

Updated on

In a word, Yes!  Yes, you can.

There may be times when you are planning work and you don't see an existing job plan that will work for the situation you have in front of you.  Your best bet would be to create a new one and add it to the task right there!

Log into the Planner Portal.  Go to Planning and select Tasks.

1. In our example below, we have two tasks that deal with change over.  We have highlighted the checkbox in front of Task 678259 to change out tooling.

2. Click the Wand icon to take it into the Planning Wizard.

4. That is not what we want to use so we click the "Search Job Plans" Button.
