Strategic Planning: Action Planning & Budget Items

Action Items are strategic initiatives that are created within the Strategic Planning Module.  Often times, they are paired with Budget Items that allow users to request funds to complete a project.  This Quick Guide will give you instructions on how to complete both of these tasks.
