How can we help?

Files

You can link any files to a plan or communication within ICPlan. Go to the files tab and click add or the + icon, type the name and add the link for the file. Ensure that you have set the correct permission for the file at source so that only the users you want to be able to see/edit it are able to. Once you have added files you can share the link via the 3 dot menu, edit or delete it.

Making Plans & Communications Confidential

If you're working on a confidential plan or communication, you can still enter plan it using ICPlan by making it confidential. Confidential plans and communications are only visible to the owner and team of that plan/communication. All tasks and files associated with the plan/communication will only be visible to the owner and team. Only a plan/communicaiton owner can make it confidential. If a plan is made confidential all the communications within it will automatically be confidential too.
