Scenario
Tomorrow, your crew will be starting the steel erection work on your module. You are now ready to plan the work for your crew. During this first day, you want your crew to install the A7 connections to foundations. Your crew will consist of a Grove-RT880E crane, 3 Ironworkers and 1 Laborer. You want to make sure to communicate the work to your crew and identify safety concerns for the day.
In this topic, you will create a daily plan from an already existing work package using the Daily Plan Wizard in the InEight Plan web application.
After you put your work package together, you break it down into daily segments, or the work you plan to accomplish in a given day.
Using the scenario above as an example, your steel erection work package for your module will take multiple days to complete. You will use daily planning to plan the work in the sequence you are looking to do it in, day by day. Daily planning is a good tool to communicate to your crew your safety concerns, quality and environmental risks, and expected productivity.
Daily planning combines:
Components
Activity components
Material components associated with WBS
Resources (employees, and equipment)
Planned hours
Planned quantities
Notes/Issues
Attachments (for example, safety notes, plan specifications)
The Daily Plan Wizard is a powerful tool that can help automate the process of setting up daily plans by copying information from an already existing work package to avoid duplicate work. The Daily Plan Wizard allows you to choose which parts of the work package will be brought into the daily plan.
You access the Daily Plan Wizard from Plan Work packaging module.

The following Step by Step walks you through how to use the Daily Plan Wizard.
This Step by Step assumes you already have a work package (CWP or IWP) created containing work package details (e.g., labor, equipment, components, safety). See Work Package Creation for details on setting up work packages.
From your project home page, navigate to Plan > Work packaging.
From the Work Packages tab, open a Construction Work Area (CWA) and click on the arrow in the ID column of your Construction Work Plan (CWP) to extend the work package below.
From the IWP page, click on the Workspace tab.
Click on the Daily Plan icon.
With the Daily Plan Wizard open, select the components, resources, etc. that you want to copy by clicking on the calendar icon from your data blocks.
Not all data blocks can be copied. If no calendar icon is shown, that data block is not available to be populated in daily planning. Activity components can only be used if they can be claimed in Plan Quantity tracking. Labor and equipment can only be used if they are active in the project date range.
When finished, click Next on the Daily Plan Wizard.
Enter your new daily plan details.
You can complete and edit these daily plan details at any point. Notice that only some fields are required to create a new daily plan.
Click Next.
