What is chat and who can use it?

Arrangements about shifts, requests for cover and questions like "who is opening today" usually end up in private messaging apps — and nobody can reconstruct them later. Chat in Proplanum moves that communication to where the schedule already is: into the app, in the context of a location and a team.


Who has access


Chat is available in the mobile app to every role, regardless of permission level. You will find it as the Chat tab on the bottom bar.



The list shows all your conversations — one-to-one and group — with the last message and an unread counter.


One-to-one conversations


You start a new conversation with the plus button and pick the other person from the list of co-workers or through search.



Inside a thread you can reply to a specific message — a long press brings up a menu of actions.



The reply goes into the conversation with a quote, so it is clear what it refers to.



Important: Company messages stay in Proplanum. You do not have to share your private phone number to sort things out with the team.


Group chats


Location Managers and Managers create group chats — for announcements or for a specific team.



Tapping the group name in a thread opens the member list. The group administrator adds and removes people and changes the name.



Remember: In a group chat you can limit who is allowed to post — useful for announcement channels, where one message matters more than a discussion.


Keeping conversations in order


With more threads you can narrow the list down with the filter in the app bar.



A long press on a conversation opens its actions — mute, pin, rename the group and leave the conversation.



What chat in Proplanum gives you


  • A faster response — a question about cover spreads in seconds, without phone calls
  • One place — arrangements sit next to the schedule they concern
  • Separation of matters — company communication does not mix with private
  • Fewer emails — everyday details are settled in chat
  • Distributed teams — contact between locations without another tool
