The Plans Page

The plans page allows you to list plans, view plan details, create plans, and edit plans. This page also contains controls for filtering the component list and selecting sort criteria. There are blue wedge shaped arrows over several of the columns on the plans page that allow you to select the column to sort the list by and in either ascending or descending order. When one of the arrows is clicked it selects that column by which to sort, sorts the list in either ascending or descending order (depending on which arrow was clicked), and changes the arrow to white . The white arrow indicates which column was used for the sort and in which order (ascending or descending).
