Instructions on how to make the most of your access to the Planability Sandbox environment
Introduction
You have been given access to a Sandbox environment of the Planability system enabling you and your team to become familiar with the platform prior to going live. We have allocated test participant(s) to your account, with a Plan and allocated funding. This allows you to create Service Bookings and to submit Claims in the test environment of the NDIS. Your participants are not real people, they have been created for your use in this Sandbox environment.
You will have access to add Plan Managers, giving access to your team; add your designated test participant(s), find their plans and create Service Bookings; add Providers and create and submit claims.
You will receive Training which will take you through the features of the Planability platform. You do not need to action any of the steps in this document prior to your training, but if you wish to explore and start your familiarisation with Planability, then please use the steps outlined here.
Accessing your Sandbox Account
As the Key Contact / Director for your Planability account, you will have received an email with your login details. Please follow the instructions in the email to access your account. Your Director profile will allow you to add and provide access to others in your organisation as either Directors or Plan Managers.
Setup Steps
Add test Participant(s)
Please refer to the email regarding your Training (subject: Training with Credability Systems) for your test Participant details.

Once you have added your test Participant, your next step will be to add Service Bookings.

Add Providers
Your Agency will already be added as a Provider in your Sandbox account, but we suggest you add a couple of additional Providers so that you can create claims using their details.
You will have been sent a number of dummy invoices to be used in the training session. The Providers may have already been created. You can view and edit the Provider details from those invoices.
Create a Claim
Training will include creating claims, but if you wish to create one prior, you are welcome to use the dummy invoices sent to you. They do not contain any real participant details.
You may also wish to enter some of the invoices that you already receive and process.
For instructions on how to enter a claim in Planability please refer to Create a Claim.
Your Sandbox account will have OCR (Scanning) enabled, so you will be able to create a claim by Bulk Upload and individual scanning.
