Directories

Directories are versatile tools for storing and utilizing a wide range of information. You determine what reference information needs to be stored in your Planfix account and configure its storage using reference books.

The account and technical administrators can create, edit, and delete directories. Other employees can view reference books and add or edit individual entries if they have the necessary access.
