Q: As a student in Platinum Planner, when I go in to set up a lab, the “+ Create A New Lab” button isn’t available. How do I create my labs?
A: When going to #3 on the Getting Started Checklist “Manage My Labs”, or going to the “Labs” button in the black toolbar and selecting “My Labs”, there are two different reasons why the “+ Create A New Lab” button may not be available. The first is that the option may have been disabled for […]
Q: As a Teacher, is there a way for me to set up labs in Platinum Planner so that students can sign up for them, much like they do for clinical opportunities?
A: Yes! The programmers have recently done an update to Platinum Planner to allow teachers the option to create labs and allow students to sign up for them, rather than automatically add each student in the class to them. To do this, start by making sure your role is set to “Teacher” in the upper-right […]

Q: When I go to create/edit one of my lab classes in PlatinumPlanner.com, I noticed a new option for “Allow students to create labs”. What does this do?
A: In the past, teachers have had the ability to create a lab session for their students, but students could also create a lab session on their side as well. This meant that a teacher could set up a single lab for every student in their class, mark which lab skills would be covered, and […]
Q: In Platinum Planner, when I go to create new clinical opportunities, I’ve noticed new options titled “Sign Up By Start Date” and “Sign Up By End Date”. What do these do?
A: The “Sign Up By End Date” is just a renaming of the “Sign Up By” option that was there previously. This lets you set the minimum number of days in advance for a student to sign up for an opportunity. Entering the number “7” would mean that students can sign up for an opportunity […]
Q: In Platinum Planner, when my students sign up for EMS clinical opportunities, a new message appears next to the “Category” saying: “EMS – These are intended for EMS ride along time aka Field Experience and not Field Internship”. What does that mean?
A: Our programmers have recently updated the website to allow Field Internship Capstone hours to be tracked separately from standard field experience, or “EMS” hours. To adjust your hour requirement settings, simply log into the site and make sure your role is set to “School Administrator” or “School User”. Then go to “Courses/Classes/Sites” in the […]
Q: It looks like the student signup page for Shared Sites has changed. How is it different from the way it was before?
A: Previously, students would go to sign up for a shared site opportunity and be presented with 3 bars for the date they were looking at. There was one bar for the availability of the site, one bar for the availability of the student, and a bar in the center that would show if both […]
