FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

  • Manage projects, client engagements, business initiatives, recurring responsibilities, and other work involving tasks, deadlines, people, documents, and decisions. Everything stays organized in your Workspaces.

  • A Workspace keeps related work, people, and information together. A Request defines what needs to get done. A Workplan organizes the steps, responsibilities, deadlines, and milestones needed to complete it.

  • Yes. Invite teammates and clients into shared Workspaces with appropriate access. You can also engage a Private Attaché for additional support. External providers can be managed through your Relationships directory, including contact details, outreach history, and follow-ups. Provider Portal access is not currently available.

  • Whitby helps you build Workplans, prepare tasks, find information, identify outstanding items, and understand what needs attention. It uses available Workspace context and Knowledge Base information to provide more relevant guidance across your Work Center, while you remain in control.

  • No. The Work Center is a standalone platform you can use yourself, with your team, or with Whitby. Professional Private Attaché assistance is available separately when you need additional help.

  • Yes. You can add your company's logo to create a co-branded experience for your clients. Free, Standard, Professional, and Teams plans use the Private Attaché domain and do not support custom subdomains, custom domains, or full white-labeling. Enterprise customers can contact us to discuss custom branding, domains, and tailored Client Portal solutions.

  • You can use the Work Center independently, with your team, or with Whitby. When you need extra support, you can bring in Private Attaché Services to handle research, outreach, follow-up, and coordination directly inside your Workspaces.

Put your plans into motion.

Bring your projects, clients, and teams together in one place. Add Whitby to help you move faster, and Private Attaché Services whenever you need extra hands.
