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.

The tool displays a list of all available Activity Types. Select the Activity Type on which your activity will 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. 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've set the activity details and click Save, this activity will appear in the activity schedule. As you can see from the Activity Details page, your name has been automatically entered as the Submitter of this activity.

Select the Activity Type on which this activity will be based, then set values for all required fields and any optional fields for which data is available at this time. When you are satisfied with your settings, click the Save button.
