There are data elements that are specific to scope management, which were added to the schedule attribute form in uDesigner. These data elements can be added to the scope management schedule sheet as columns as you work with the sheet. If data elements are on both the schedule attribute form and on the business process that you will be using to run the activity task for scope management, the values are copied from the form to the business process and vice versa.
When you are planning to use scope management, consult with the uDesigner user and your company administrator to achieve the setup of data elements and business processes that will meet your business needs for managing scope.
The scope management-specific data elements that are added to the schedule attribute form are:
Data Element Name | Description |
|---|---|
Actual Start Date | Actual start date of the activity. |
Actual Finish Date | Actual finish date of the activity. |
Actual Duration | Actual duration of the activity. This is calculated from the Actual Start Date and Actual Finish Date. |
Status | Activity status. The default is Not Started. |
Predecessors | A list of the predecessor activities. Note: Activities that have no predecessors are known as floating activities. |
Record Number | Hyperlink to the linked business process record. |
Record Status | Hyperlink to the linked business process record. |

Auto-update Activity Data | Enables the automatic update of activity data. The default is unchecked. If this checkbox is not selected, the activity must be completed manually, and automatic completion will be turned off. This means you must change the activity status to compete and enter an actual finish date. |
