Status Section of the Activity Form Page

Overview

Use this section to add or edit activity status details, if you have the required privileges.

Screen Elements

Dates section:

Started option

Determines whether the activity has started.

Finished option

Determines whether the activity has been completed.

Suspend Date field

The date work has temporarily stopped on a given activity.

For example, an event might force an activity to be interrupted or resource constraints might put an activity on hold.

The suspend date must be later than the actual start date, which the activity must have. Activity progress can resume when the Resume Date is set. The suspend/resume period behaves like non-work time on the activity calendar or resource calendar for task and resource dependent activities.

Resume Date field

The date when a suspended task or activity is resumed.

The resume date must be later than the suspend date and earlier than the actual finish date.

The suspend/resume period behaves like non-work time on the activity calendar.

Percent field

The type of percent you see depends on the percent complete type you select for the activity in the General section of the Activity Form page.

The type can be Units, Duration, Physical, or Scope. If the Percent Complete Type is Units, percent complete is calculated from the actual and remaining units. If the Percent Complete Type is Duration, the percent complete is calculated from the actual and remaining duration. If the Percent Complete Type is Physical, the user will enter the percent complete for the activity. If the Percent Complete Type is Scope, the percent complete is calculated by Oracle Primavera Cloud and cannot be modified in P6.

Total Float field

The amount of time the activity can be delayed before risking a delay to the project finish date.

A float of zero hours indicates that the activity cannot be delayed at all and a negative float indicates that the project is already behind schedule. In a complex schedule, negative total float on some activities might not cause a delay to the project finish date.

Calculated as Late Start minus Early Start or as Late Finish minus Early Finish.

Constraints section:

Primary Constraint list

The primary constraint type for the selected activity.

Primary Constraint Date field

The constraint date for the activity, if the activity has a constraint. The activity's constraint type determines whether this is a start date or finish date.

Activity constraints are used by the project scheduler.

Secondary Constraint field

The secondary constraint type for the selected activity.

This field is only available if a primary constraint has been selected.

Secondary Constraint Date field

The date for the activity's secondary constraint, if the activity has a secondary constraint.

The activity's constraint type determines whether this is a start date or finish date. This field is only available if a primary constraint has been selected.

Expected Finish field

The date on which the primary resource, the person who assigns the expected finish date, anticipates work on the activity will finish.

Only the primary resource can edit this field if the activity has started.

Duration section:

Planned field

The expected number of work periods required to complete the selected activity.

Actual field

The total working time from the activity Actual Start date to the Actual Finish date for completed activities, or the total working time from the Actual Start date to the data date for in-progress activities.

The actual working time is computed using the activity's calendar.

Remaining field

The number of work periods needed to complete the activity.

Labor Units section:

Planned field

The expected number of labor units required to complete the activity.

Actual field

The number of labor units that have been expended on the selected activity.

Remaining field

The number of labor units required to complete the activity.

Non-Labor Units section:

Planned field

The expected number of non-labor units required to complete the activity.

Actual field

The number of non-labor units that have been expended on the selected activity.

Remaining field

The number of non-labor units required to complete the activity.

Total Costs section:

Planned field

The planned total cost for the activity, including labor resources, nonlabor resources, and project expenses.

Calculated as Planned Labor Cost plus Planned Nonlabor Cost plus Planned Expense Cost.

Actual field

The actual total cost incurred for the activity as of the project data date.

Calculated as Actual Labor Cost plus Actual Nonlabor Cost plus Actual Material Cost plus Actual Expense Cost.

Remaining field

The remaining total cost for the activity, including labor resources, nonlabor resources, and project expenses.

Calculated as Remaining Labor Costs plus Remaining Nonlabor Costs plus Remaining Expense Costs.
