How do I configure Plan-IT Online On Time?

Follow below steps to configure Plan-IT Online on time properly:

  1. Go to the website https://www.plan-it-online.nl and log in with your credentials.
  2. In the top left corner, select the establishment that you want to configure:




After selecting the establishment, create the groups. Plan-IT Workshop uses these groups to link specific employees to the operations of Plan-IT Online on time.

  1. In the menu to the left, go to the option Werkzaamheden (operations).




  1. On the page go to the very bottom to create the groups.




To create more groups when all fields are filled, click on the Opslaan (Save) button. After the webpage is refreshed, a new empty field is added beneath the entered groups. Repeat this until you have added all groups that you want.

After creating the groups, go to the top of the page to create the operations. There are two types of operations: main operations (Radiobutton) and extra operations (Checkbox).

Specify for each operation to which Group you want to link it, or leave the field to alle bewerkingen (all operations) when it can be performed by all employees.

Enter an amount of AE (job units) to specify how much time is needed for an operation. Based on the specified AEs, Plan-IT Workshop checks where the planning has capacity to schedule the operations.

  2. Select the option Calendar.
  3. The Calendar window appears. Select the preferred employee in the bottom left corner.




Create the preferred schedule for the first day, in blocks of AE (job unit). In this example we create a schedule from 8:00 to 17:00 with a break between 12:30 and 13:00.

When the calendars of all empoyees are filled, click on the Close button in the bottom right corner. A pop-up window appears asking if you want to update the online module. Now click the Yes button.




When the updating is finished, the employees with blocks of online working hours are available for online appointments. These will now be placed on the planning board as reservations.
