Manage Collaboration Plans Using a Redwood Page

You can now use the Redwood user experience to manage collaboration plans. You use the Collaboration Plans page to:

• Create new collaboration plans
• Review collaboration plan candidates
• Convert collaboration plan candidates to collaboration plans
• Delete collaboration plan candidates
• Assign collaboration plan attributes and plan frequency

On this page, you can:

• Perform keywords searches by Supply Plan, Collaboration Plan, Status
• Use filter chips to search by status or last published
• After selecting the Create button, create a new collaboration plan, and define its attributes, such as supply plan source and planning frequency

Use the edit icon to convert plan candidates to collaboration plans, as well as edit existing relationships.

The new Collaboration Plans page displays both active and inactive plans, as well as plan candidates. As with the previous page layout, you can view the following plan attributes: Collaboration Plan, Supply Plan, Source System, Supply Plan Source, Last Published Date, and Status.

With this update, status can be active, inactive, or candidate. A status of candidate is the new indicator that the given record is a plan candidate, and you can convert it to a real plan by editing the candidate and saving it with the appropriate values.

The Collaboration Frequency attribute has also been added to give you an easy-to-read format that combines all weekly and monthly frequency definition combinations. For example, a collaboration plan with Frequency of Monthly, Frequency Duration of 1, a Start Day Ordinal of First, and a Start Day of Monthly would be displayed as “The 1st Monday of every month” in the new Collaboration Frequency field.
