Log On to Open Plan

Use this procedure to log on to Open Plan.

Note: PPM products use centralized Mixed authentication by default. How you log in to Open Plan is determined by the user authentication mode assigned to you, not by the product's authentication settings.

    If you are set up with Windows authentication , you are logged in automatically using your Windows credentials. If you are set up with Basic authentication, proceed to the next step.
  2. Iin the Open Plan Login dialog box, enter your user ID and password in the corresponding fields.
    Open Plan remembers the user ID from your last login and automatically enters that user ID. If this user ID is not the one you wish to use, delete it and enter the proper one.

    The drop down list displays all data sources defined in the Open Plan Data Tool.
