Activity Name field
The name of the activity.
The activity name does not have to be unique.
Activity Status list
Determines the status of the activity.
Valid values are Not Started, In Progress, and Completed.
Activity Type list
Determines how duration and schedule dates are calculated for an activity.
Task Dependent: Activities are scheduled using the activity's calendar rather than the calendars of the assigned resources. Choose task dependent when you want to control the duration of the activity yourself (that is, no resources are assigned), or when one or more resources assigned to the same activity can work according to the same calendar. For example, you might have an activity to cure concrete; you know how long the task takes and the addition of resources won't complete the task any earlier. You would designate this activity as task dependent.
Resource Dependent: Activities are scheduled using the calendars of the assigned resources. This type is used when several resources are assigned to the activity, but they might work separately. Choose resource dependent when you want to schedule each resource according to his/her own time schedule, or resource calendar, not the activity calendar. The assigned resource availability determines the start and finish dates of the activity. Typically, you use this type when multiple resources assigned to the same activity can work independently, or when availability can affect the activity's duration. For example, an activity that requires an Inspector might be delayed if that resource is assigned to multiple projects or is on vacation.
Level of Effort: Activities have a duration that is determined by its dependent activities and are typically administration type. Choose level of effort to indicate that the activity's duration depends on its predecessor and/or successor activities. A level of effort activity is usually one that is ongoing, such as clerical work, Change Management, or project management tasks. For example, site cleanup could be considered a level of effort activity; it occurs repeatedly and is dependent on the completion of a phase.
Start or Finish Milestone: Milestone activities are zero-duration without resources, marking a significant project event. Choose start milestone or finish milestone to indicate that the activity marks the beginning or end of a major stage in the project. Milestones have zero duration. A primary resource or an activity owner, and expenses can be assigned to a milestone. In an office building addition project, examples of milestones might include Project Definition Complete, Structure Complete, or End Bidding Process.
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. Choose WBS Summary to indicate that the activity is a summary-level WBS activity. A WBS Summary activity represents a group of activities that share a common WBS level. The summary-level WBS activity enables roll-ups of dates for the activity group. The duration of a WBS Summary activity extends from the start of the earliest activity in a group to the finish of the latest activity. WBS codes control which activities are part of a WBS Summary activity; P6 incorporates any activities that share a component of the WBS Summary activity's WBS code into the WBS Summary activity. For example, all activities whose WBS codes begin with A (A.1, A.1.1, A.1.2, etc.) can be part of one WBS Summary activity whose WBS code is A. At a lower level, all activities whose WBS codes start with A.1 (A.1.1, A.1.2, etc.) can be part of a WBS Summary activity whose WBS code is A.1.
Added By field

Critical option
Determines whether the activity is critical.
An activity is critical when its total float is below the critical duration specified for the project. Delaying critical activities will delay the finish date of the project.
Duration Type list
Determines how remaining duration, units, and units/time are calculated when you update an activity that has resources assigned. The activity's duration type should correspond to the dominant factor, that is, the least flexible factor in the project: schedule, costs/work effort, or resource availability.
Fixed Units/Time: The resource units per time are constant when the activity duration or units are changed. Use this duration type when an activity has fixed resources with fixed productivity output per time period.
Fixed Duration & Units/Time: The activity duration is constant as the units or resource units per time are changed. Use this duration type when the activity must be completed within a fixed time period regardless of the resources assigned.
Fixed Units: The activity units are constant when the duration or resource units per time are changed. Use this duration type when the total amount of work is fixed, and increasing the resources can decrease the activity duration.
Fixed Duration & Units: The duration and units remain constant as the units/time are changed. Use this duration type when the activity must be completed within a fixed time period and the total amount of work is fixed.

Project Status list
The current state of the project or WBS element. For activities, this field reflects the current state of its parent WBS or project. The status type determines how project, WBS, activity, and resource assignment data are handled by applications within P6 EPPM.
The status you assign to a project automatically applies to all its WBS elements and their activities. By default, when you create and save a new WBS, it automatically inherits the Project Status value of its parent WBS or project; however, subject to certain logical constraints, you can change the individual status of a WBS. For example, within an Active project you can designate WBS elements that are Active, Inactive, and Planned. The following status values can appear in this field:
Active: This is the default setting for new projects. Use this status to reflect actual authorized WBS or project work at your organization. When you designate a project as Active, P6 Team Member Web timesheet users can view all activities included in its active WBS elements. Depending on their timesheet privileges, users may also be able to assign themselves to and perform work on activities that are included in an active WBS element.
Inactive: Use this status to designate a WBS or project that is on hold, terminated, or no longer active. Select the Resources can view activities from an inactive project option on the Team Member page of the Project Preferences dialog box to allow P6 Team Member Web timesheet users to view, but not edit, activities that are included in an inactive WBS element or project.
Planned: Use this status to designate a project or WBS that is in its planning phase. If a WBS element's status is Planned, P6 Team Member Web timesheet users cannot view any of its activities. This prevents P6 Team Member Web timesheet users from assigning themselves to and performing work on unauthorized activities not yet officially designated Active.
What If: This status can only be designated at the project level. Use this status to designate a project is only being considered or is undergoing analysis before establishing a more defined project schedule. When a project's status is What If, P6 Team Member Web timesheet users cannot view any of its activities. This prevents P6 Team Member Web timesheet users from assigning themselves to and performing work on unauthorized activities not yet officially designated Active.
Reflection projects created in P6 Professional appear in P6 as What If projects.
Requested: This status is set automatically for projects associated with certain types of project initiation and project request workflows.
Template: This status appears in this field only for template projects or for a WBS element that belongs to a template project. This status is set by P6; you cannot directly set this value.
