The Plan On The Net .com User Guide

Quick Start
	This section provides a quick overview for how to get started with the site. Please also review the rest of the user guide to fully appreciate all of the features and benefits. In the following descriptions, we'll use program office to refer to the first page that you see after a successful login. The full navigation path will be shown for clarity, but in practice this will not be required most of the time.
Register Online
	Use the registration form available from the register link on our home page. The registration form should be completed by your designated program office administrator.
Add Users
	Once you have registered your program office, the administrator should login to the site and add users: program office users add user.
Add A Project
	Add the first project of your program office: program office add project. The only information required when adding a project is a project name.
Access Rights
	For each user, assign access rights for each of your projects. Later on, as you become familiar with the site, you can create group definitions that describe access rights. You can then simply add users to groups and they will automatically acquire access rights. See program office pick a project user access.
Work On Projects!
	To start working on a project plan, navigate to a project worksheet: program office pick a project modify. Add resources Add tasks Add assignments and resources to task Add dependencies to tasks and task folders
Add Vacation/Non-Working Days
	Add vacation days for your entire program office or for individual projects: program office vacation days all projects or pick project. In addition you can add vacation days for a specific resource. You do this by changing the properties of a resource: program office pick project modify, then select the "pen" icon of the resource that you'd like to modify.
View Gantt Chart
	Once you have defined some tasks, you can view a Gantt chart in a fully interactive mode: program office pick project view full gantt chart. You won't see anything useful on the Gantt chart until you have added assignments and duration to a task.
Summary
	This represents a very basic usage of the site. Please see our features page and the rest of this user guide for all of the other features that are available.
