Feature overview
Planning phase
The planning, i.e. the recording of the TASKS, the creation and assignment of LABELS, etc., takes place in the so-called master plan. Once the initial planning has been completed and the plan is to be tested (e.g. in a dress rehearsal), an executable copy, the so-called live plan, must be created from the master plan. The master plan still exists and can be maintained.
