# Your planner & allocations

The planner shows what you're allocated to and when. It's your at-a-glance view of the work coming up, laid out on a timeline so you can see how your days and weeks are shaping up.

## Read the timeline

Open the **planner** from the left sidebar to see your allocations on a timeline. Each allocation represents work you're scheduled for, with its dates, so you can quickly tell what's on now and what's ahead.

If you don't see a planner section, your organization may not have it enabled, or it may not be part of your role. See [Getting started](/docs/member/getting-started) for how the sidebar reflects your organization's setup.

## View-only vs editing

For most members, the planner is **view-only** — you can see your allocations but not change them. Planning is usually handled by the people responsible for scheduling.

If you've been **granted edit rights**, you'll be able to make changes directly. If you think your allocations are wrong and you can't edit them, reach out to whoever manages planning in your organization.

## Stay in the loop by email

You can choose to be notified as things change, straight from your notification preferences in account **Settings**:

- **Daily summary email** — opt in to a once-a-day rundown of your allocations so you start the day knowing what's on.
- **Allocation-change alerts** — get notified when your allocations are added, changed, or removed.

To set these up, head to [Notifications & preferences](/docs/member/notifications) and turn on the ones you want.

## Subscribe in your own calendar

Prefer to see your allocations alongside the rest of your schedule? You can **subscribe to them in your own calendar app** using an **iCal link**.

1. Find your personal iCal link in the planner or your account settings.
2. Add it as a subscribed calendar in your calendar app (for example, your work or personal calendar).
3. Your allocations then appear in your calendar and stay updated automatically.

Because it's a subscription, changes to your allocations flow through to your calendar without you having to re-import anything.
