Add by Person into a Multi-Phase BOS Move Plan


You can add a person or people into a multi-phase BOS Move Plan. It is important to understand the behavior when you add a person who has a reference to a previous phase or when you add a person who has no reference to a previous phase.

Person Referenced in Earlier Phase

If the person is referenced in an earlier phase and they are added to Phase 2 the reference will be used.

  • In Phase 1, John is moving from 9.1 to 9.2.
  • In Phase 2, John is added and the From Location is 9.2 (from Phase 1 data) and the To Location is 9.3 and the moves are linked.

Person Not Referenced in Earlier Phase

If the person is not referenced in an earlier phase and when they are added to Phase 2 the Live VBS data will be used in the From Location.

  • In Phase 1, there is no reference to Louise.
  • In Phase 2, Louise is added and the From Location 9.6 is populated from the Live VBS data.
