Activity Attributes (General)
| Assignment Attribute | Data Element | Calculation | 
|---|---|---|
| Activity ID | 
 | The unique identifier of the activity. In order to identify and track activities, P6 assigns each activity a unique Activity ID that is the result of joining the Activity ID Prefix with the Activity ID Suffix and then adding an Increment value. For example, a prefix of PROJ-A# combined with a suffix of 2500 and an Increment of 5 will yield the following activity IDs: PROJ-A#2500, PROJ-A#2505, and so on. | 
| Activity Name | 
 | The name of the activity. | 
| Activity Status | 
 | The current condition of the activity. Valid values are Not Started; In Progress; and Completed. | 
| Activity Type | 
 | Determines how duration and schedule dates are calculated for an activity. Options are: Task Dependent: Activities are scheduled using the activity calendar rather than the calendars of assigned resources. Resource Dependent: Activities are scheduled using the calendars of assigned resources. Level of Effort: Activities have a duration that is determined by its dependent activities and are typically administration type. Start or Finish Milestone: Indicates if the activity marks the beginning or end of a major stage in the project. Milestones have zero duration and no resources. WBS Summary: Activities that are used to aggregate date, duration, and percent complete values for a group of activities that share a common WBS code level. | 
| Activity % Complete | 
 | An activity level setting in P6 used to update the amount of work completed on an activity. Use one of 3 options for identifying Activity Percent Complete: Duration % Complete: Used to report progress based on Remaining Duration: [(Original Duration - Remaining Duration)/Original Duration]*100. Units % Complete: Used to report progress based upon actual work performed and remaining units to complete: (Actual Units/At Completion Units) * 100. Physical % Complete: Used to progress based on personal judgment. | 
| CBS Code | 
 | The cost code in Unifier to which you can link an activity, assignment or expense. | 
| Performance % Complete | 
 | The percentage of the activity or project planned work that is currently complete. Performance % Complete is used to calculate earned value. It can be based on the technique for computing earned-value percent complete for the activity's WBS - for example, the activity percent complete, 0/100 rule, 50/50 rule, and so on. |
