Creating Activity Code Values

Create activity code values to represent variations within the larger scope of the activity code. It is these values, not the activity codes, that you will assign to projects. You can add code values for project-level, EPS-level, and global activity codes. These steps represent the minimum required to create an activity code value. To configure an activity code value, see Configuring Activity Code Values.

To create activity code values:

  1. Click the "" Projects menu and select Enterprise Project Data, or click the Administer menu and select Enterprise Data.
  2. In the Enterprise Data pane, expand Activities and click Activity Codes.
  3. On the Activity Codes page, click the Global, EPS, or Project tab to determine the level for the activity code value.
  4. On the Global, EPS, or Project tab:
    1. Select a code.
    2. Click "" Add Activity Code Value.

      Note: The code value will be assigned to the selected code.

    3. Move the activity code value to the correct location in the list and hierarchical position by clicking the "" Move Up (Ctrl+Alt+Up), "" Move Down (Ctrl+Alt+Down), "" Move Left (Ctrl+Alt+Left), and "" Move Right (Ctrl+Alt+Right) arrows.
    4. In the Name field, double-click and type a code value unique to that tree level.

      Note: The code value cannot exceed the Maximum Length specified by the activity code.

    5. Click "" Save (Ctrl+S).

Tips

  • Activity code values at the same level are siblings. Subordinate activity code values are children.
  • You can also assign project-level activity code values to an open project. On the Projects navigation bar, click Activities and click the Codes detail window. In the Codes detail window, click Assign Activity Code Value. In the Select Code Value dialog box, you can assign a preexisting code value or add a new code value. To assign an existing code value, mark Global, EPS, or Project and select an activity code value from that level. To add a new code value, select an activity code and click Add Code Value. Type a name and description and click Create.
  • To select multiple projects in the Select Projects dialog box, press the Ctrl key and click the projects to be selected.
  • Each time you update the list of projects on the Project tab, the application saves the list of displayed projects.
  • If you are working on the Project tab and the project you need is not visible, click Select Projects. In the Select Projects dialog box, select a project and click OK. The dialog box only displays the projects you have access to view. For help adding projects to the Selected Projects list, see Configuring Columns or Values.
