Add an Activity Type is used to create a new Activity Type. You can create your new type from scratch or, if you would like to use an existing Activity Type as a model for your new type, clone an existing type.
To add a new Activity Type, go to the Activity Types page and click the Add a Type link.
To clone an Activity Type, go to the Activity Types page and click the Manage link for the Activity Type you want to clone. The Activity Type Details page is displayed. Click the Clone Type link and the Add an Activity Type form is displayed with all of the fields prefilled. Edit the fields as desired.
Activity Types are used to classify the kinds of activities that occur in the organization's projects. Each Activity Type is associated with a set of activity data fields that store information about this type of activity. Activity Types that are needed for audit purposes are flagged as auditable. When configuring a Project Type, the Super Admin selects all the Activity Types that will be available for use in projects of this type. For more information, see the Concepts document Managing Activity Types.
