There are several different ways to start a new Action Plan. They can be created through the main application launcher, by clicking on "Action Plans". However, they can also be created through specific objects (Contacts, Listings, etc.) Some older Propertybase accounts may not see the latter option in their accounts. In this article we will walk through the steps required to add the "Start Action Plan" button to page layouts.
