To create a new plan, use the ‘Products’ link in the upper navigation bar, then click the name of the bundle that you would like to add the new plan to. Next, click on the ‘Add a Plan to this Bundle’ button. This will bring up the ‘Edit – Update Plan ‘ page, where you can set the various configuration options described below.

To delete a plan, first you need to navigate to the ‘Edit-Update Plan’ page representing this plan. To get there, use the  ‘Products’ link in the upper navigation bar, then click the name of the bundle that the plan you want to delete is attached to.

Once you are on this page, you can click on the ‘Remove this Plan’ button and the plan will be ‘disabled’.

The Create Plan  (Figure 44). screen is displayed when you click on the Add a Plan to this Bundle option on the View/Edit bundle screen (Figure 42).

When you are creating a plan,  you can only do so by attaching it to  a bundle – a plan in this sense has no existence independent of its bundle, and cannot be re-attached or copied to another bundle. However, when deleting a plan, the plan is ‘disabled’ rather than actually deleted. This is so that historical billing and auditing which depends upon the existence of this plan is never disrupted. A disabled plan can be thought of as one that has been made inactive (so that it is no longer available to users on sign-up), or as one which is no longer ‘bound’ to a bundle.

The other plan attributes which can be set here are discussed below in the ‘configurable Settings for Plans’ section.
