# Tying PLSS Schedules to Upcoming Events

All PLSS Schedules can be linked to a [Planned Event](/v414/docs/ims-planned-events). This is extremely helpful when packaging Schedules that will be done during a Turnaround (TA) or similar event, like a [Campaign](/v414/docs/plss-campaigns). The Event Date will not affect the Schedule's NID, as it does not take part in the Horserace. However, when the Schedule work has occurred during the Event and the Schedule was credited, then for recurring Schedules the LID will become the Event Date and a new NID will be determined based on this LID for the new Schedule.

NoteThe default configuration is for the Site Administrator to control the addition and editing of Events since with a CMMS (e.g. GSAP) interface all related Schedules will be influenced. These then also need to be adjusted on the CMMS side.

## Reviewing Planned Events

Planned Events (e.g. Next Opportunity, Pit Stop, Turnaround, Statutory Inspection) are registered on each processing Plant or Unit. Planned Events are available as a [Main Screen (grid list)](https://im/docs/ims-planned-events#planned-events-main-screen) and as [Details Pages](/docs/ims-planned-events#planned-events-details-page).

Each Planned Event has an Event Date.
