Use a Planner item’s Relationships section to open the goals, findings, devices, projects, opportunities and tickets behind the work. This guide is for company users and MSP staff.

Before you start

  • You need access to the Planner item. Linked modules and provider accounts can need their own access.
  • To add or remove links, see Link supporting records to Planner items. That needs Write Planner or Manage Planner.

Find the supporting records

1

Open the item

Click the item’s title in List View, or open its card on the timeline.
2

Scroll to Relationships

Scroll inside the dialog to Relationships, on the left side.
Relationships section containing a strategic goal and a linked compliance finding.

A goal and a compliance finding linked to an item. Editing controls depend on your access.

3

Open a record

Click a record name. Links open in a separate tab.
4

Check the record, then return

Read the linked record’s own details and status, then go back to the Planner item.
If the item is linked to a budget, the budget shows above the list. Not every item has every group. No relationships defined. means nothing is linked to the item. Related work can still exist elsewhere. A relationship explains why the work matters. It does not change the linked record.
  • Linking a compliance assignment does not make it compliant.
  • Linking a ticket does not close it.
  • A Planner item marked Completed does not mean every linked record is finished.
  • Ticket status shown beside a link belongs to the ticket, not the Planner item.
The cross button beside a link removes the link from the Planner item. It does not close or delete the linked record. Only staff with Write Planner see it.
