Users in P6 can be designated as activity owners. An activity owner who has Projects module access and the required privileges can update the status and other details for their assigned activities.
When adding an activity to a project, the activity can be assigned an activity owner or a resource assignment. Activity owners are typically used when resource assignments are not used for reporting status on activities, or when one person is responsible for reporting for a team or a crew. For example, a construction foreman is assigned as an activity owner and is responsible for reporting status on the progress for the entire crew.
This feature can be used in combination with Reflection projects in P6 Professional to enable controlled merging of contractor schedules with activity owner schedules.
Activity Owners can report status on activities in P6 or in P6 Team Member interfaces. If status is reported in P6 Team Member interfaces, project managers can turn on Team Member status reviews and review, update, and approve the activity updates in P6.
