Purpose

This article goes over how to make a meal plan active.

Process

A Meal Plan is made active through the Edit Meal Plan page.

If on the Meal Planning Dashboard, make sure the desired Saved Meal Plan to make active is highlighted (shown on the lefthand side of the screen), then click the Edit meal plan button in the bottom-right to reach the Edit Meal Plan page for that meal plan.

From the Edit Meal Plan page:

1. Click the Complete meal plan button in the bottom-right.
   
   
2. This will open up a window with Save meal plan at the top. In this window, there are options to:
   
   
   1. Click the Share with dropdown to share the meal plan across multiple sites.
      
      Please Note: This option is dependent on the user profile and how many sites they have access to.
      Single-site users do not have this capability.
      
      
      
   2. Click Show start meal plan options to select the desired date range for the meal plan to run for, whether or not it expires, or have the meal plan end after the cycle has gone around x amount of times.
      
      Important: The user needs to ensure that the Start Date in the popup is the actual day in Day 1/Week 1 of the meal plan. 
      
      
3. Once finished, click the Save and start button to make the meal plan active.
   
   
4. This will navigate back to the Meal Planning Dashboard, with the active meal plan now visible under the Active Meal Plans section.
