FAQs

Planner is either public or private. You select a plan type when the plan is first created and can change it afterwards. To change the privacy setting of an existing plan, select the three dots to the right of the plan name and select Edit Plan. In the Edit pop-up box, choose Yes or No under Make This Plan Public.

If a plan is public it can be seen by staff and faculty on the Brock intranet. Private plans can only be viewed by members allowed into the group.

After a plan is deleted, there will be a retention period of 30 days before permanent deletion. If you wish to restore a plan within the 30 days, contact the ITS Help Desk.
