Activity sheets exist in the Schedule Manager at the Program level. An activity sheet allows you to view, edit, and update activity dates across project and shells. The activity data is from the Master Schedule Sheets only.
For example, uParks Company has 1000 projects that fall within four categories. Four programs are created to manage the Schedule Sheet activities. Each program has its own Program Manager, controlling 250 projects. uParks has a finite number of resources and needs to stagger the work so resources can be used evenly over time. The Program Managers want to adjust their project forecast dates so that 20 projects will complete each month for the next 12 months (with 30 completing in month 12, so that all 250 are completed in a year). Using activity sheets, you can manage your project and shell data in this way.
Activities can be affected by calendar selection, if there are multiple calendars implemented. There can be a Calendar column in the activity sheet, for example. This column will allow to select a calendar per activity as needed. If this column exists, you can select from the Company level calendars and Project/Shell calendars as permissions allow. Any defined Custom calendars (which are defined for the Schedule Manager at the project or shell level) are not available for selection on the Activity Sheet.
If you are using an Activity Attribute form designed in Primavera uDesigner to manage activities, the data element uuu_activity_calendar can be added to the form so users can select calendars. If you are not using a designed Activity Attribute form (are letting Primavera Unifier use the default form provided), the data element uuu_activity_calendar is automatically included in the Activity Attribute form.
When activities are updated through the Activity Sheet, they consider the calendar in use for the activity. The Start Dates, Finish Dates and Durations can be affected by the calendar used for an activity. Double-click on the Calendar cell to see a list of Company level calendars and project/shell calendars (not the custom calendar). You can select another calendar for the activity.
The selected Start Date or Finish Date for an activity can be a non-working calendar day, however the duration of the activity will only account for working calendar days.
Note: When you select the alternate calendar and click Save, the schedule sheet associated with the activity is marked for refresh with the refresh icon (rotating arrows).
| • | Activity Sheets: Used to view and update the Master Schedule Sheet data from projects and shells within Programs. |
| • | Activity Code: A value in a Program activity sheet used to map to an activity in one or more projects or shells. |
| • | Sub-columns: |
| • | Columns grouped under an Activity Code |
| • | Displays data from projects/shells |
| • | Updates data in a project/shell |
| • | Display and edit Master Schedule Sheets activity data across projects and shells as columns and sub-columns |
| • | Modify editable elements |
| • | Affects down stream dates of linked activities |
| • | Start, Finish, Duration |
| • | Estimated Start, Finish, Duration |
| • | Critical path dates |
Project or shell names form the rows of the activity sheet; the activity codes and activity data elements form the columns and sub-columns in the sheet. The activity sheet also allows you to update multiple activities after modifying and saving the activity sheet. This update automatically updates the downstream dates of linked activities, such as Start Date, Finish Date, Duration, Estimated Start Date, Estimated Finish Date, or other dates.
