Working with Activities
The My Activities view is your main work area. Use this area to view your assigned activities. When you select an activity in the activity pane, all panels on the right, which include the progress panel, Steps panel, and Codes and UDFs panel, display information for the activity. Use the progress panel to update your activities to show progress.

Control bar: In this area you can assign yourself to activities, filter the tasks in your view, and search for tasks. When you make changes to activities, you can see a count of the number of activities you have updated. The count is reset when you select Save or Cancel. Changed activities that have not yet been saved show with an asterisk * and italicized text. Note: WBS (work breakdown structure) is a project management term used for the logical breakdown and arrangement of activities in a project. The WBS path helps you to understand exactly where your activity fits within the scope of the project. | |
Activity cards: Each activity is represented by an activity card in the main area of the screen. The activity card provides important status information and allows you to perform actions for the activity. Here you can see whether you are assigned to the activity via an Assignment or as the Owner. A project level administrative setting controls whether you see an activity multiple times on the My Activities page depending on whether you are a resource, primary resource or the owner. A progress indicator for each activity provides a visual representation of your progress. The indicators are color coded to allow you to view your progress at a glance. A green indicator shows the finish date for the activity has not been reached and a red indicator shows that the finish date is in the past and the activity is now overdue. On the activity card you can:
