Kavi® Status Tracker Help

Chapter 29. Add an Activity

Overview

The Add an Activity tool is used to add a new activity to a project in the Kavi Status Tracker. Use the Add an Activity tool when you have only one activity to add or when there is detailed information that should be entered as the activity is added. If you want to add multiple activities at once, use the Schedule Activities tool instead.

All available Activity Types are displayed. Select the one on which your activity should be based.

On the next step, a form displays instructions for adding an activity of this type, plus data collection fields associated with this type of activity. An asterisk indicates that a field is required. Set the Submitter and enter other available data.

Click the calendar icons to set the Date Scheduled or Date Occurred fields (or enter text in MM/DD/YYYY format). If the activity has already occurred and you just want to record it, you may enter the date in the Date Occurred field only and leave the Date Scheduled field blank. If you want to schedule an activity for the future, you may enter the date in the Date Scheduled field only and leave the Date Occurred field blank for now.

As soon as you're done adding the activity details, this activity will appear in the activity schedule.
