Microsoft Planner requires an eligible Office 365 work or school subscription. This app does not support Office 365 personal accounts (for example: name@outlook.com or name@hotmail.com). If you are not sure about your company’s subscription or the services you have access to, please contact your IT department. Planner provides a simple, visual way to organize teamwork. Planner makes it easy for your team to create new plans, organize and assign tasks, share files, chat about what you’re working on, and get updates on progress. -- Organize work visually -- Each plan has its own board, where you can organize tasks into buckets. You can categorize tasks based on their status or on whom they’re assigned to. To update the status or change assignments, just drag and drop tasks between columns. -- Visibility -- The My Tasks view provides a comprehensive list of all your tasks and their status across all your plans. When working together on a plan, team members always know who is working on what. -- Collaborate -- Built for Office 365, Planner lets you work together on the same tasks, attach captured photos directly to them, and even have conversations around tasks without switching between apps. With Planner, all your team’s discussions and deliverables stay with the plan and don’t get locked away across disparate applications. -- Works across devices -- Planner works across all your devices. And with Planner, everyone is always on the same page. Continue conversations and updates tasks while on-the-go or at your desk.

You will need to start by setting up your Omniguard Cellular to send status updates. Register your Omniguard on our web site to activate it and then follow the instructions in your manual to configure it to send status updates and/or logs. You will only be able to see activity in this app that has been emailed to at least one recipient. Once you have your Omniguard sending out updates, create a free account using this app and follow the instructions to activate it. Once your account is active log in and add your Omniguards by pressing the "+" button in the upper right corner. You will need to know your Omniguard's serial number and the last four characters of its IMEI or MEID (the same character needed for registration). Instructions for how to find this information is located on the Omniguard registration page.
