Following Plan Items | LP Classic Support

This article applies to LiquidPlanner Classic. To view the documentation for Portfolio Manager (formerly LiquidPlanner New), visit the Portfolio Manager Help Center.

Sometimes, you need to monitor items in the workspace that you do not own. You might need updates on a colleague’s task that is related to the work you’re doing. Or you need to know when work or requests get added to a specific container, such as the Inbox. If you’d like to receive recent change notifications for a plan item that you do not own, you can follow it. No one else can see which items you’ve chosen to follow.

You can follow individual tasks or entire containers (projects, sub-folders or packages).
When you follow a container, you will be notified about changes to all tasks within that container.
