Function or Responsibility-based Roster Planning
PDC FunctionPlan
FunctionPlan is designed for organisations that need fast and focused planning of functions and work positions. It is a browser-based application built for specialised planners who are responsible for covering a set of work positions, and it provides an efficient workflow tailored specifically to this task .
As part of PDC StaffPlan, FunctionPlan gives planners access to a subset of the functionality and data available in StaffPlan, restricted to function planning while still including most basic data and absence causes. This gives organisations a more targeted planning tool for detailed operational planning without requiring users to work in a broader planning setup than necessary .
FunctionPlan is available through a web browser and supports use on both PC and tablet. The solution runs as HTML5 via browser over HTTPS, making it a flexible option for organisations that need easy access to planning in day-to-day operations.

Who is FunctionPlan relevant for?
FunctionPlan is relevant for organisations where planning is closely tied to specific functions, roles, or work positions that need to be covered continuously. It is especially useful when selected planners need a focused interface dedicated to function planning rather than full access to the wider planning environment.
What value does FunctionPlan create for an organisation?
Organisations gain a specialised planning tool that makes it easier to manage staffing for work positions efficiently. Because FunctionPlan gives access to a defined subset of StaffPlan functionality and data, the planning process can be more focused and aligned with the specific operational task.
How is FunctionPlan different from the wider planning solution?
FunctionPlan gives organisations a smarter and more focused way to handle function planning – without exposing every user to the full complexity of the wider planning environment. While StaffPlan is the core application with access to almost all planning data and functionality across the PDC Plan platform, FunctionPlan is designed specifically for planners who need to cover defined work positions quickly and efficiently
That means users get a streamlined interface built for one clear purpose – function planning. FunctionPlan gives access to a selected subset of StaffPlan data and functionality, including most basic data and absence causes, so planners have what they need to work effectively while keeping the experience simple and targeted
For organisations, the benefit is clear – faster workflows, less unnecessary complexity, and a planning tool that is easier to use for specialised users. Because FunctionPlan is browser-based and designed as a web solution for simple planning on PC and tablet, it also supports flexible access in day-to-day operations.
Can employees also access FunctionPlan?
