The Rapid Planning Workbench is a workspace designed with these characteristics:
Simple to understand and easy to learn
Access to lots of data
Customizable data displays

When you access Rapid Planning Workbench, you see the global region and a workspace region.
The top region has:

Button Save: Saves your updates from all the tabs in the workbench. This is different from the Workbench Actions > Save Plan.
Button Cancel: Discards your current updates and reverts to the last saved version of the plan.
The buttons to save and cancel changes apply to all tabs in the workspace. If you make changes in one tab and move to another tab, the Workbench prompts you to save your changes
The workspace region contains:
Tabs: Use these to view and manipulate the data. You can open as many multiple tabs as you need to accomplish your task. The Workspace region has top and bottom frames; they are independent places to open more tabs and are not related as in, for example, master-detail information.
Links: Use these to manipulate the plans. You can hide this area; click icon Collapse Pane. To show it, click icon Restore Pane.
When you access Rapid Planner Workbench, The open tabs are:
Plans
Plan Inputs
The Plans contains a navigator on the left that contains three regions that you can access. They are:
Plans: Displays a complete list of all the plans that are in the states Launched, completed and Loaded into memory; Launched and currently in-process; and Launched and errored out
Plan Links: Contains links to workbench views that display data about the currently selected plan; you can take action against the data
Plan Actions: Links to workbench views with actions that users need to manage the plans
The Plan Input tab displays a simpler navigator on the left that only has the Plan Input Links region. These links open views that you can use to see and update plan inputs and simulation set information
When you select a plan in the Plans region, you can see its information.
However, you can update plans only if they are loaded in to memory.
To load a plan into memory, navigate to Plan Actions > Load Plan.
