The Plans Details Page

The Plans Details page allows you to view a Plan's information and attributes. This page includes information and attributes information, and also contains buttons that allow you to run, edit, and delete a plan.

Plan

The name of the plan.

Version

Displays the revision number of the plan.

Checked In

Displays the date and time when the plan was checked in. That is, created or modified.

Checked In By

Displays the user ID of the one who checked in the plan. This provides an audit trail when trying to troubleshoot problems or inconsistencies.

Category

A user definable object that is used to filter the plan list. Categories are created using the categories page accessed from the Administrative page. Categories are then applied to a plan from the plans page. Categories can also be created by clicking in the “Apply Categories . . .” link.

Description

An optional user defined text string that describes the plan object. This attribute is not used by the provisioning software but can provide meaningful information to the user.

Buttons

By clicking one of these buttons you initiate one of the following functions.

Run

Runs the plan.

Advanced Edit

Allows you to edit the XML code for the plan.

Delete

Removes the plan from the database. If there is more than one version then the provisioning software asks if you want to delete just this version or all versions.

Done

Download

Allows you to save the XML code to a text file. Between this function and the Replace Definition With File function the provisioning software allows you to use other text editors to create and modify the XML code for plans.
