Article summary

Budget Manager Experience: Introduced a Home page

With this release, we are introducing a Home page for budget managers that display all action items assigned to them. 

Till now, budget managers had to use the URL of the shared templates to open them in Budget Manager Experience. If the budget manager had multiple URLs, they had to keep track of all URLs, and there was a chance of missing them. The centralized home page acts as a landing page for budget managers whenever they access the Planful application and lists all action items for each shared template.

Budget managers can log in to the application directly using Planful’s URL, click on any action item, and open that specific template. The home page also displays the count of completed action items.

To navigate to the home page from any template, click the Finance drop-down in the top menu and select Home
