Activity Sheet Sub-Node: Activity Sheets Log and System Activity Sheet

The Activity Sheet sub-node contains a list of activity sheets, including the System Activity Sheet, and they are all listed in the Activity Sheets log.

You can use an activity sheet to capture the scheduling data from P6 or Oracle Primavera Cloud. A single activity sheet (called System Activity Sheet) is mapped to multiple source projects, by way of integration.

The source project (P6 Project) drop-down field is visible at the top of the system activity sheet as, "<Source name> Project : <Project ID>." The source project drop-down contains a list only if the activity sheet received activity data from multiple source projects. The link to the source project is base on the source URL (provided in the company properties). Also:

When connected to P6 or Oracle Primavera Cloud applications:

If the selected project is open in the application, then the data for the corresponding project (along with other projects, if they exist) is displayed.
If a project other than the selected project is open in the application, then only the data for the project other than the selected project is displayed. In this scenario, the data for the selected project is not displayed.
If no project is selected in the application, then the Open (projects) window is displayed that enables you to select the project for which you want to view the schedule

When not connected to P6 and Oracle Primavera Cloud applications:

The source application login page is displayed.

You have the option to view the activities (from the mapped source projects) by using the project drop-down field which contains a list of all source projects mapped to your shell.

The Activity Manager enables you to create, consolidate, and monitor activities that must be completed on a schedule.

You can have multiple activity sheets.

A System Activity Sheet captures the scheduling data from the mapped P6 projects and role and resource rates from the company-level Master Rate Sheet (default) or shell-level rate sheets, and calculates the Earned Values metrics and derivatives. A System Activity Sheet is the primary source of data for the Earned Value Analysis.

After P6-Unifier integration has been run and P6 projects mapped in the Integration tab of shell details, a single System Activity Sheet can be created in the Activity Sheets log of the shell (Shell > User mode > Activity Manager > Activity Sheet > Activity Sheets log).

Each P6 project is associated with a baseline project sheet and a current schedule project sheet. The activity sheet allows you to switch between baseline and current project types and view the specific scheduling information - activities, assignments, dates, and so forth.

Once produced, the baseline project sheet cannot be altered; however, you can update the current project sheet, per Data Date.

If you update the project baseline in P6, then the project baseline will get updated in Unifier (when running the sync by selecting the Baseline option for the respective project).

P6 projects in the System Activity Sheet are classified as:

Project Classification	Description
Duration Based projects	The Duration Based projects bring activity duration data only. They do not include resource assignment or cost related information, and are, therefore, not available for Earned Value analysis.
Resource Loaded projects	The Resource Loaded projects load duration and resource assignment information but not cost related information from P6. You can assign a rate sheet and costing to calculate resource costs in the projects. After costing is completed, they are available for Earned Value analysis.
Cost Loaded projects	The Cost Loaded projects bring duration, resource assignment, as well as cost information from P6. No further cost calculation is necessary. You can directly use the Earned Value module for cost comparisons and analyses in these projects.

After integration, the data brought in to the System Activity Sheet are constrained by project categories, and the constrains govern the behavior of the System Activity Sheet.

The following explains the Activity Sheets log elements, followed by information specific to the System Activity Sheet.
