Adding an Activity in Siebel Service Handheld

A field technician can add an activity to an existing service request or they can add a sundry activity, such as making a bank deposit or taking their truck in for servicing, which is not associated with a particular account.

CAUTION:  Siebel Service Handheld application filters allow you to review an activity that you create on the date it is created, when no Planned Start date is indicated. If you change the Planned Start date for the activity, the following error message displays: Error occurred while finding the prior place in the system. The activity will not be displayed in the Activity list view. The activity will instead be uploaded to the server database the next time you synchronize your Handheld application.
