Using Activity Codes
Activity Codes can be used for improved filtering, sorting and colouring either task bars or Activity Table.
Defining Activity Codes
Go to Configuration Toolbar > Activity Codes
Assigning an Activity Code to task
The Activity Code can be assigned to a task in the Activity Table:
To access the list of codes, click F2 or type the start characters of the code
Alternatively, use the mouse cursor to select the cell. When the cursor is in the upper half of the row, the ‘white’ plus indicates cell selection. Left click once to select the cell, clicking slowly a second time allows cell edit drop-down to appear.
The Activity Codes can also be assigned to the tasks using the Activity Details > Codes dialogue…
Displaying the Activity Code on the chart
If using the CS Project Template, the Activity Code to be used on the Task in the ‘Standard View’ is selected in the Bar Chart Properties (Advanced option), on the Bars tab.
Or, if using your own Layout, you can select ‘Colour bars according to code’ in the Bar Chart Options (Basic option)
