vPlanner.Pull Login Screen
 
 
If login is successful, you should see the Current Projects tile screen.  Note if you see no projects here, ask you site administrator to add you to a project.  To Open a project, select it, then click the Folder icon.
 
Once you open a project, you should see the available pull plan tiles.  If you see no Pull Plan tiles, then ask your site administrator (Premium User) to create them.  If a tile shows "Realtime" then it is available for realtime collaboration.  Otherwise it is either read only or archived.
