The Inspire Planner Settings page provides you with the option of enabling certain features that come with the Inspire Planner App. For both Salesforce Lightning and Classic users, you are presented with the same Inspire Planner Settings page.
Please note:These settings should be enabled/disabled by a Salesforce System Administrator with an Inspire Planner License.
Click on the App Launcher and enter "Inspire Planner" in the Quick Find box. Click on Inspire Planner Settings.
A description of each setting is provided below.
1. Enable sharing of projects to external contacts - This feature is only available in Production environments (not available in Sandboxes) and requires Streaming API to be enabled in Salesforce. This feature allows you to share projects externally with Contacts in your database. When enabled, Contacts assigned to a project task are sent an email with a link to the project and they are able to access the project from our external project portal (https://projects.inspireplanner.com). When enabling this feature, you will be prompted to grant access our external viewer to connect with your Salesforce org. Make sure you click on Allow.

2. Enable Start Date for Salesforce tasks - Inspire Planner Project Tasks contain both a Start and a Finish Date. Salesforce Tasks, however, only have a due date. Since Inspire Planner Project Tasks map to Salesforce Tasks, this feature adds a Start Date to your Salesforce Tasks. You have the option of using the default Start Date field that is included with Inspire Planner, or map it to a different date field.
3. Enable Contact task assignment notification - Enabling this feature will automatically send an email notification to your external Contacts when they are assigned a project task. This feature works in conjunction with the Send task notification option under Settings for each project. Notification emails will only be sent if both settings are set to Enabled.
4. Enable time tracker - This will enable the time tracking functionality within Inspire Planner.
5. If Time Tracker is enabled, you also have the option of adding the Time Tracker Visualforce page to other objects in Salesforce. For example, adding objects like Account or Case will allow users to log time against these records, in addition to their Project Tasks.
