Activity Code Descriptions

Previous TopicNext TopicContents

The Activity list has the following fields:

Field

Description

Name

This field corresponds to the code's display name in the P6 EPPM database. If you leave this field blank, it automatically populates with an initial value. You can edit this field.

Scope

Note: This section only applies to dynamic codes. Code hierarchies are always global.

Because you can define activity codes for different areas of your P6 EPPM database (Global, EPS, and Project), P6 Reporting Database enables you to define the Scope where you will use these activity codes.

The scope order is important because it determines a tie-breaker if two codes have the same name at different levels. For example, if you have a global code called MyCode, and a project has a code called MyCode, the scope setting would determine which code value to use. If you select Global, Project, it will use the global MyCode value. If you select Project, Global, it will use the project level MyCode value.

Use the scope list to choose one of the following:

  • Global
  • Global, EPS
  • Global, Project
  • Global, EPS, Project
  • Global, Project, EPS
  • EPS
  • EPS, Global
  • EPS, Project
  • EPS, Global, Project
  • EPS, Project, Global
  • Project
  • Project, EPS
  • Project, Global
  • Project, EPS, Global
  • Project, Global, EPS

ID

Contains the Activity code's ID number. When you choose an Activity ID, this is assigned sequentially starting with '1'.
