Planner

• Publish Daily Briefings

  • Find it in Project Assets > Planner.

Admin

  • Answers can draw on the plan and diary together, for example: “What did the delays in last week’s diaries do to the programme?”

  • Still read-only, and users only see what they can already see in Aphex. Available to all organisations with the MCP Connector, with nothing new to switch on.
