If you encounter issues while using Planday, you can look up some diagnostic information about what goes on in the background on your web browser. When troubleshooting issues with Planday support, this information can help save you and our support team a lot of valuable time.
When encountering an issue while using Planday on an active session (after logging in), follow the steps for accessing the developer console, depending on your browser.
Please be aware that some pages within Planday might contain information sensitive to your organisation. Make sure you store the screenshot in a secure location on your device and only share it with a support team representative through the official channels (e.g. the chat within Planday).
Google Chrome
There are two ways to open the developer console on Google Chrome:
Right-click on the page, select Inspect from the menu and then choose the Console tab. (or ctrl+click for Apple touchpads/magic mouse devices)
Use the Chrome shortcut by pressing your keyboard's Cmd+Option+J (for Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+J (Windows, Linux, Chrome OS).
If necessary, reproduce the issue by doing the same action that caused the error. With the console open, take a screenshot of the entire screen and make sure to capture both the console's content and the Planday page and error if you need to share it with our support team.
