There is a lot going on in the PlanSwift Application; it may even seem a bit overwhelming, but if you take a few minutes to learn what each Tab does, you'll figure out what you need to use right now and what can wait for a rainy day.

Each Tab opens a "ribbon bar", similar to Microsoft Office applications, that provide access to an assortment of tools and functionality.

The PlanSwift Tab provides access to create, open, and email jobs, activate PlanSwift licenses, and checking for updates...
