Plans Table

The Plans table displays a list of plans within a context.

You can access the Plans table from the Navigator by selecting Project

> Plans, Program

> Plans, or Product

> Plans.

This table is also available from the context Details page when you create a new tab and select Customize > Related Objects > Plans:

• The Plans table is only available under product contexts when the Enable Create Plan for Product preference is set to Yes.

• Contexts that only include one plan also include a Plan table. This table displays the same information as the Schedule table. When you create a second plan, the Plan table link is automatically removed.
