Managing and optimising an organisation's productivity, location of equipment, and the content accessed by employees is crucial for every business in the digital age. plan.com offers a suite of advanced tools and features designed to help users gain optimal control over various facets such as content access, data usage, location tracking, and spending limits.
Content and Access Controls
plan.com's Productivity Controls lets you manage the kind of content that can be accessed from various devices on your account.
Specific controls include:
-
Adult: Inappropriate, explicit content can be entirely blocked to ensure net safety and maintain professionalism.
-
Gambling: This is a useful control in maintaining business focus by restricting access to gambling platforms.
- Mobile Data: Complete control over internet access helps you manage data costs and usage effectively.
-
Social Media: This control helps minimise unnecessary distractions by restricting access to social media sites.
-
Streaming: Barring access to streaming services can save significant data and keep workers focused.
In order to enable any or all of these Productivity Controls for a given line on your account, please follow these steps:
- Login to your my.plan account.
- Open the Controls dropdown from the top navigation menu.
- Follow the path Data, Calls & Text > Data Controls.
- Use the switches to activate or deactivate the desired Productivity Controls.
Spend Controls
In addition to content access, understanding the difference between a spending limit and a bar is crucial. Spend Controls cap the expenses on particular services like data, calls, or texts, while a bar prevents all further usage once activated, thus avoiding any unexpected charges.
Location Services
The location feature on plan.com offers visibility of where your devices are at a given time. This feature works by tracking the mobile's interaction with various cell sites. The accuracy of tracking is impressive, but it is worth noting that it might be affected by local geographical and architectural elements, power outages, or the device being turned off. It's also affected your tariff: platinum tariffs get the most accurate location information.
However, for some services, you may not wish them to be visible on my.plan. To enable or disable Location Services please follow these steps:
- Login to your my.plan account.
- Open the Controls dropdown from the top navigation menu.
- Follow the path Device Setup > Visible on Map
- Select the user for whom you would like to manage Location Services in the left-side scroll menu and enable or disable Location Services using the switch under the Visible on Map modal.
