Custom solutions are solutions that any account administrator can create. They are used to transfer settings (sets of objects and links among them) between different Planfix accounts. This can help you maintain your company's best practices across various business processes.

Share this link with other Planfix users, or use it to transfer your settings to another account.

If you no longer want your solution to be available via this link, generate a new one. Please note that this will only affect future attempts to use the old link to install your solution. Solutions that were installed using the old link before the new link was generated will still work.

Additional information

  • Administrators and technical administrators of all accounts can create custom solutions.
  • Only the creator of a custom solution can view it. The creator can also delete their solution or (re)generate a public link to it. Solutions are not available to other account users with administrator rights.
  • To copy protect your solution, you can disable duplication of the contents to other solutions.
