      Note: PlanPlusOnline will not have its own “Account” in your list of accounts. You will need to choose one of your existing accounts if you want to Sync your PlanPlusOnline calendar.
      If you don’t see the account you need, you may need to add it here using the “Add Account” option.

Settings-general

  • For the account that you wish to sync with PlanPlusOnline, check to make sure that the Calendar & Contacts are turned “ON”.
    Why does this matter?  If the account and record type (Contacts or Calendar)  is not enabled on your device, PlanPlus will not be able to sync records with it. This is a typical error found when troubleshooting sync issues.

  • Back at Account Settings for Mail,Contacts, & Calendar. Check your “default” account for Contacts & Calendar.Your default account is the account that new contacts or new appointments would be created on if you add them outside of the PlanPlus app on your phone.Example, if you want to use SIRI to create appointments that show up on your PlanPlus Online calendar, you must select the same calendar in your Default Calendar as you choose to Sync with PlanPlusOnline.
