# Work Plan

Your personal schedule in Mosaic, showing every work plan assigned to you across a rolling two week view.

## Overview

The Work Plan widget is your personal schedule in Mosaic. It shows every work plan assigned to you, including project, phase, and hours, across a two week rolling timeline on your Home space.

> **Info:** This is the widget most team members check first when they log into Mosaic.

### What You See

-   Each plan appears as a color coded bar matching its project.
    
-   Each day shows total planned hours and percentage of capacity.
    
-   Today is highlighted. Past days are grayed. Days with no capacity, such as holidays, are grayed with gray text.
    
-   A **lock icon** shows which value stays constant (hours per day, hours per week, percentage, or total hours) when dates change.
    
-   **Dashed or hash lines** on a bar mean the plan is marked tentative.
    
-   A **gridded edge** on a bar means that edge is dependent on a phase date. A **solid edge** means no dependency.

**Reading work plan bars:**

-   A **lock icon** on the bar indicates which value is the constant — hours per day, hours per week, percentage, or total hours. When dates change, the locked value stays the same.
    
-   **Dashed / hash lines** mean the plan is marked as tentative — it is not yet confirmed
    
-   A **gridded line** on the start or end edge of a bar means that edge is tied to a phase date dependency
    
-   A **solid line** on an edge means that end has no phase dependency

3.  Set the hours or percentage, the start and end dates, and click **Create**.
    

When Time Off is selected:

> **Info:** **Note:** Depending on access level, you many not have the ability to edit your own work plans. Those are created by PMs. Leave a comment inside a work plan to request a change, or check the activity log to see who created or last edited it.

### Tips

-   **Check the widget every morning** to see what is on your schedule before opening anything else.
    
-   **Use the activity log** to understand a plan that looks different than you remember.
    
-   **Treat dashed bars as unconfirmed.** Tentative plans can still change.
