When you create a new activity sheet, after defining the activity sheet properties (you can also populated the newly created activity sheet by way of opening an existing activity in the log), Unifier creates a default activity sheet.
Note: In the process explained above, the Project Start Date and Project Finish Date fields will not be seen in Unifier 20.12, but the fields will be made available in later releases.
In the newly created activity sheet:
- Project Start Date
Displays the earliest date of all the activities. In the case of a blank activity sheet, the scheduled start date will be the project start date.
- Project End Date
Displays the latest date of all the activities on the activity sheet. In the case of a blank activity sheet, the scheduled start date will be the project end or finish date.
The following explains the first five columns displayed in a created activity sheet, in the grid section of the activity sheet:
- Row Number
Displays the row number and errors, if any. This is a read-only column, with a sequential number starting from 1 (one).
- Activity ID
Displays the activity ID for each added activity sheet. Unifier uses the default sequence number specified in activity sheet properties to populate the activity ID. You can edit the column and enter custom activity ID for a selected activity sheet. This is a required field and alphanumeric characters are allowed, only. Verify that no special characters are entered when defining the activity ID.
- Activity Name
Displays the name of the activity sheet. This is a required field and alphanumeric characters are allowed.
Note: The attachments and notes features will not be seen in the activity sheet in Unifier 20.12, but the features will be made available in later releases.
A default lock will be seen after the first three columns.
- Attachments
Displays the attachment icon. You can add attachments to the activity sheet in the Attachments tab (in the right pane or dock bottom pane).
- Notes
Displays the notes icon. You can add notes for the selected activity sheet in the Notes tab. The functionality will be the same as in the CBS rows. This functionality will allow you to enter the notes. For example, you can use notes to specify the reasons for the change of the activity sheet dates or duration from the initial baseline.
All the other columns are displayed in the order defined in uDesigner, followed by the Notes column. If there is no attribute form defined in uDesigner (for manual activity sheets), then all of the P6 data elements (uuu_P6 data elements) are displayed as columns.
