Plan Activities Buttons

Recalculate the Plan

Refresh all calculations and reports in the plan by clicking [Recalculate]. Recalculating a plan can often resolve issues that may occur with complex calculations.

Validate Data Tables

Although validation will occur automatically during plan development, you may reconcile plan Data at any time from the Home page.

Export the Plan

Click [Export All] to store or use plan settings, data, and reports outside the system. A Zip file will contain settings and tables in Excel, while reports will be formatted in PDF. This is useful for storing legacy plans before balanceAAP archives them.

Master Plan/sub plans — From the Export All menu, choose sub plans, and click the [Export] button.

Quick Tip: This operation may take some time to complete. Click [Run in Background]. Open the Notifications panel for updates on percent completed; if the process is complete, click the [Download] icon for the export. (These functions are described below.)

Help Cross-reference: For information on the Plan Archive Date, see: Plan Information.

View Plan Log

Click [View Plan Log] to display a report that lists Notifications associated with the plan. The report can be filtered by date and/or user ID.

Plan Backups

To save a plan in its current state, click [Add Backup] under the Plan Backups header. Up to two backups can be saved. To revert the current plan to the most recently saved back-up, click the [Restore Backup] button. To delete a backup, click the [Remove Backup] button.

Note: If a plan is reverted, changes made since the backup was created will be lost.

Master Plan/sub plans — Plan Backups are only available in the Master Plan.
