Manual Activity Sheet Columns

The activity details are presented in columns. The columns are displayed in the order defined in uDesigner, followed by the Notes column. If there is no attribute form defined (for manual activity sheets), all the P6 data elements (uuu_P6 data elements) are displayed as columns.

You can change the default view by creating and managing custom views in the View drop-down list.

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.

Columns	Description
Sequence No.	This is a read-only column, with a sequential number starting from 1 (one). The numbering sequence of activities. The column cells are pre-populated with the sequence number provided in the activity sheet properties. The sequence number is a unique value. This column displays the row number and errors, if any. To select an activity, click inside the corresponding Sequence No. cell.
Group By	Grouping activities according to shells. Click the plus (+) or minus (-) symbols to expand or collapse grouped activities.
Activity ID <label of the uuu_P6ActivityID>	The activity identification number for each added activity sheet, starting with letter "A". The Activity ID column shows color icon-based on the activity status and the activity type. For example, the green rectangular icon indicates that an activity has not started, the yellow rectangular icon indicates that an activity is in progress, the light green rectangular icon indicates that an activity is completed, and the diamond icon indicates that an activity is milestone activity. The system 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. You can edit the Activity ID column data.
Activity Name <label of the uuu_P6ActivityName>	The name of the activity sheet. This is a required field and alphanumeric characters are allowed. You can edit the Activity Name column data. You must specify the activity name. All the alphanumeric characters are allowed for the activity name.
Attachments	The column with the attachment icon. You can add attachments to the activity sheet in the Attachments tab (in the right pane or dock bottom pane).
Notes	If available, notes related to the activity. You can add notes for the selected activity sheet in the Notes tab. The activity sheet window, or page, also contains a Notes (paper and paper-clip icon) column that indicates whether and activity sheet has a note (entered from the Notes tab in the properties pane), or not. You must have permission to be able to post notes. 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.

The following shows a list of typical column headings in the Activity Sheet window (the default layout):

Columns	Description
Start <label of uuu_P6StartDate>	The start date for the activity. This column is populated with the project start date by default. You can edit the date by selecting date picker in the column. You can edit the date before or later but cannot move the date before project start date. For Activities that are 'In Progress' and 'Completed,' the start date will be the Actual Start Date (uuu_P6ActualStart). For new activities, once the project is scheduled on certain data date, the new activities start date will be by default the data date. Upon scheduling, if the activity is still not started as per the 'Data Date,' then the activity will be rescheduled according to the data date.
Finish <label of uuu_P6FinishDate>	The finish date for the activity. This column is populated with the project start date by default for activities with status 'Not Started'. You can edit the date. When the activity sheet is not scheduled, the 'Data Date' will be the project start date. For activities that have been created after the activity sheet is scheduled (on certain data date), the finish date will be defaulted to the start date which is the 'Data Date'. For Activities that are 'In Progress' and 'Completed,' the finish date will be the date from Data Date plus duration. When an activity sheet has not been scheduled, the 'Data Date' will be the project start date.
Duration <label of uuu_P6Duration>	The duration of the activity. This column is populated with duration as one (1) day by default for regular Tasks/Activities and duration as 0 for the milestone activity. Duration will be updated by means of finish date changes or user can manually update the duration column. Finish date will be calculated accordingly.
At Completion Duration	The total working time from the activity start date to the activity finish date.
Planned Start	The scheduled start date.
Planned Finish	The scheduled finish date.
Planned Duration	The scheduled duration of the activity.
CBS Code	The Cost Breakdown Structure code.
Calendar	The calendar type that has been used.
WBS Code	The Work Breakdown Structure code.
WBS Name	The Work Breakdown Structure name.
Activity Status <label of uuu_P6ActivityStatus>	The default 'Not Started' will be displayed, and the activity icon (seen before the activity ID) will be in blue color, for not started activities. When the Activity Status changes to 'In Progress' or 'Completed' (based on the activity actual start date and finish dates), the color of the Activity ID will be changed accordingly.
Activity Type	This column is populated with the default value of 'Task Dependent.' You can select other values such as 'Start Milestone' which will automatically the task to milestone with 0 (zero) duration days and 'Resource Dependent' which will preserve the calendars of the associated resources/roles. Resource Dependent activities adjust to resource calendars when resources are assigned.
Planned Start Date <label of uuu_P6PlannedStart>	This column is populated with the default value of Start Date (uuu_P6Start) for the activities with status 'Not Started'. When the project is scheduled by using project scheduler, the values for the Start and Planned Start Date will move to the Current Data Date, if they are past dates.
Planned Finish Date <label of uuu_P6PlannedFinish>	This column is populated with the default value of Finish Date (uuu_P6Finish) for the activities with status 'Not Started'. When the project is scheduled by using project scheduler, the values for the Start and Planned Finish Date will be the Planned Start Date plus Duration. The task dependent activities base their duration on the working and non-working days of the activity calendar, but the resource dependent activities base their duration on the working and non-working days of the assigned resource's calendar. When multiple resources are assigned, the Finish Date of the activity will be based on the time required by the last resource it will take to finish the same task, based on the resource calendar. You can edit the Duration column value in the activity sheet. This field will allow only integer-type data with no negative values. Note: The calendar that you select for each activity will be used to calculate the finish date.
Milestone	When the activity type is selected as 'Milestone,' the system designates the activity as a milestone activity. The duration of a milestone activity is always 0 (zero). You cannot update the duration for milestone activity. The Activity Status for a milestone-type activity can have only two values: 1) 'Not Started' and 2) 'Completed.' The default value is: 'Not Started.'
