Setting Up Activity-Related Information

To set up activity-related information, use these components:

  • Activity Types (PROJ_ACTIVITY_TYPE).

  • Activity Type Status Path (PC_ACTSTATCTL_PNLG).

  • Quality Types (PROJ_QUALITY_DEFN).

  • Define Standard Activities (FS_ACTIVITY_TBL).

Use the PC_STD_ACT_INTFC component interface to load data into the tables for the FS_ACTIVITY_TBL component.

The procedure to define activity type status paths is the same as the procedure to define status paths for projects.
