Linking plans across projects

A plan can support another plan. The plan that gives the support sits below; the plan that receives it sits above, so on the Plan Explorer map support always flows up.

Make a connection

1. Open the Plan Explorer and click a plan on the map, or open a plan and use the connections icon in its header.
2. Use Find a plan to support or Find a supporter, or right-click a plan on the map and choose Supports another plan or Another plan supports this plan.
3. Choose one element on each plan to connect those two elements. Choose the two plan cards to connect the plans as a whole, when every element of one supports the other.

Every change shows a message with Undo.

Things to know

• Two plans are connected in one direction, either as a whole or element by element, never both. Switching from one to the other replaces the old connections and offers Undo.
• A plan cannot support itself, and connections cannot form a loop. You are told which plans the loop would run through.
• Click a connection to remove it. Reverse direction turns a whole pair round.
• You need permission to edit both plans, and a subscription that includes linking. Without the subscription you can still see the connections that were made, but not change them.
• A loop is refused with the plans it would run through, for example "Grid Connections supports Aldervale supports Pathway".
