Planner Settings
Planner Settings are the shared setup pages that support scheduling. They cover workflow, time units, compensation templates, skills, certifications, and time off reasons.
Where Planner Settings fit
| Setting area | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Workflow | Shift kinds and time off reasons. |
| Purchase Orders | Whether shift creation should also create a draft purchase order for the assigned worker. |
| Time units | The time unit options used in Planner compensation setup. |
| Compensation templates | Saved pay structures that can be reused. |
| Skills | The shared skill library for workers. |
| Certifications | The shared certification library for workers. |
Manage workflow settings
- Go to Planner → Workflow.
- Use the Workflow tab for shift kinds.
- Use the Time Off Reasons tab for time off reasons.
Turn on auto-created purchase orders for shifts
- Go to Planner → Workflow.
- In Auto-Create Purchase Orders, turn on Auto-create a purchase order when a shift is created.
- Click Save Auto-PO Setting.
When this is on, creating a shift for a worker with a linked supplier record creates a draft PO automatically.

Things to know
- Skills and certifications both support manual reordering.
- Time units can also be reordered.
- Compensation templates are managed from their own index page and open into a separate create or edit form.
- Workflow settings and the other Planner setup libraries are separate pages, even though they support the same module.
- The Auto-PO setting is shared with Purchasing settings. Changing it in either place updates the same tenant-wide setting.
