Deploying and Managing Activity Guides
The My Activity Guides page provides a centralized location where organizations can deploy their activity guide templates to their users without having to create a custom page. Users can access activity guides to which they have been granted end user access to start new instances of activity guides, review and access activity guide instances already in progress, and, if given access, start or delete instances of activity guides.
These topics provide an overview of the My Activity Guide framework and discusses using the My Activity Guides pages.

My Activity Guides Page Layout
The My Activity Guides page layout shows a list of activity guides in the left panel to which you have been granted access and that meet the following requirements set up by the template administrator:
You have been granted the security access role as defined for the End User security type for this template on the Activity Guide Composer - Security Page.
The template is active and has been configured to display on the My Activity Guide pages on the Activity Guide Composer - Display and Processing Page.
Activity guides are listed in alphabetical order. Each time you return to the My Activity Guides page, the system will select, by default, the first activity guide in the list. Select an activity guide from the left panel and the content page will be updated with details about the selected template. The left panel activity guide types will also display the number of activity guides currently in progress. The number of instances you can initiate per activity guide is set by the template administrator.
My Activity Guide Page Elements
The activity guide description, start, and delete options will vary by activity guide template and are set on the Activity Guide Composer - Display and Processing Page of the Activity Guide Composer.

Start Activity Guide button |
Click this button to access the Start Activity Guide Page to initiate a new instance of the activity guide for a person. The capability to initiate an activity guide from the My Activity Guides page is determined on the Activity Guide Composer - Display and Processing Page. If the Start in My Activity Guide is not set to Yes for an activity guide template, then this button will not be available for this activity guide type. Note: If you have met the maximum number of instances you can have in progress for an activity guide, this button will still display. However, when you click the button, the system will inform you that you cannot start another instance for this activity guide because the maximum number has been met. Administrators can set a different maximum instance number of for each activity guide template. Hence, although you may have reached your maximum instances for one activity guide, you may not have met it for others. |
