Activity Table columns:

The default fields that appear as columns in the Activity Table are described below. For descriptions of all possible fields, see Available Columns of the Activities Page.

Note: The Activity Table always displays activities; however, you can change the way they are grouped. By default, they are grouped at all levels by WBS and arranged into a hierarchy.

Project indicator

A visual indicator of the type of project. Possible indicators include:

WBS indicator

A visual indicator of the WBS type. Possible indicators include:

Activity indicator

A visual indicator of the activity type and its current status within the WBS or project. Possible indicators include:

"" The activity has not yet started.

"" The activity has started and is in progress.

"" The activity has finished.

"" The activity has been identified as critical.

"" The activity is a milestone.

Activity Name field

The name of the activity.

The activity name does not have to be unique.

Start field

The current start date of the activity. For started activities, this is the actual start date. For not started activities, this is the planned start date until the project is scheduled. When scheduled, the start date field is set to the remaining early start date.

Finish field

The current finish date of the activity. For completed activities, this is the actual finish date. For not started and in-progress activities, this is the planned finish date if the project has not been scheduled. When scheduled, the finish date field is set to the remaining early finish date.

Remaining Duration field

The total working time from the activity remaining start date to the remaining finish date.

The remaining working time is calculated using the activity's calendar. Before the activity is started, the remaining duration is the same as the planned duration. After the activity is completed the remaining duration is zero.

Activity % Complete field

The percent of the activity that has been completed.

Calculated as (Original or Planned Duration minus Remaining Duration) divided by Original or Planned Duration.

If the activity's percent complete type is set to Physical, the application will not calculate a value for the Activity % Complete field.

Units % Complete equals (Actual Labor Units plus Actual Non-labor Units) divided by (Actual Labor Units plus Actual Non-labor Units plus Remaining Labor Units plus Remaining Non-labor Units).

Primary Resource field

The person primarily responsible for performing or overseeing work related to a specific activity. The first resource you assign to an activity is automatically identified as the activity's primary resource.
