### Working with Activity Lists You can open the Activity List page from a record Detail page or from the activity list section of the daily and weekly views of your own calendar and the individual calendars of other users who share their calendar with you (the daily and weekly user calendar views) in the Calendar pages. The list of records that is shown when you open the Activity List page depends on how you access the page. ### What Is Shown When You Open the Activity List Page from a Record Detail Page When you open the Activity List page by clicking the Show Full List link in a list of activity records on a record Detail page, the Activity List page shows the activities that are linked to the record. The list can include open activities, completed activities, or a combination of both, as shown in the following table. In all cases, you see only the records to which you have visibility.
List | Records Displayed
--- | ---
Activities | The linked tasks on which the completed date is blank. The linked appointments on which the completed date and time are later than the current date and time. The linked tasks on which the completed date and time are earlier than the current date and time. The linked appointments on which the completed date and time are earlier than the current date and time.
Completed Activities | The linked appointments on which the completed date and time are earlier than the current date and time. The linked tasks on which the completed date and time are earlier than the current date and time.
Open Appointments | The linked appointments where the value in the Completed Date field is not in the past. NOTE: If the Completed Date field is not populated by the user who creates the appointment, then it is automatically populated with the same value as the End Time field of the appointment. When an appointment’s completed date is reached, the appointment is removed from the Open Appointments list and becomes part of the Completed Activities list. The information in the Open Appointments and Completed Activities related information sections of the parent record's Detail page is updated when the page is refreshed. The records in the Open Appointments list are sorted by the date and time in the Start Time field, with the appointment that has the earliest start date and time appearing first in the list.
Open Tasks | The linked tasks that do not have a value in the Completed Date field or a status of Completed, provided that your company uses the default set of values for the Status field. NOTE: When a task is marked as completed, the Completed Date field is automatically populated with the date and time in the time zone of the user who marks the task as completed. Users can also populate the Completed Date field on a task manually. When the Completed Date field on a task is populated, the task is removed from the Open Tasks list and is included in the Completed Activities list. The information in the Open Tasks and Completed Activities related information sections of the parent record's Detail page is updated when the page is refreshed. The records in the Open Tasks list are sorted by the Due Date field, with the task that has the earliest due date appearing first in the list.
Open Activities | A combination of the Open Appointments and Open Tasks lists. NOTE: The records in the Open Activities list are sorted by the Completed Date field. Records on which the Completed Date field is blank appear at the bottom of the Open Activities list. Therefore, open tasks appear at the bottom of the Open Activities list, after all open appointments. If you do not want the related open tasks and open appointments on a record Detail page to appear in this order, then it is recommended that your company administrator adds the Open Tasks and Open Appointments related information sections to your record Detail page instead of the Open Activities related information section.
### What Is Shown When You Open the Activity List Page from a Calendar Page When you open the Activity List page by clicking the Show Full List link in the Open Tasks list in the daily or weekly user calendar views, the list shows all open activities that are assigned to you. NOTE: In the standard application, the Open Tasks list is displayed in the activity list section of the daily and weekly user calendar views. However, you can select a different list to be displayed, or your administrator can select a different list for your user role. If a different list is displayed in the calendar view, then when you click the Show Full List link, that list opens in the Activity List page. For information about selecting a different list to be displayed in the daily and weekly user calendar views, see Setting Up Your Calendar. Other lists are also available to you in the Activity Lists page. The set of lists that is available to you can include both the standard lists that are distributed with Oracle CRM On Demand and custom lists for your company. Your visibility to records is determined as follows: For all lists except the lists of delegated activities, your visibility to records is limited to those activities where your name appears in the Owner field or in the list of users, unless you have the View Private Activities privilege or the Delete Any Activity privilege in your role. For lists of delegated activities, your visibility to records is limited to those activities where your name appears in the Delegated By field. For all lists, the filter that is applied to the list determines which records are displayed in the list. NOTE: If your company administrator added you to a group, then a Group Tasks tab appears on your calendar pages. ### About Access to Private Activities in the Activity List Page If you have the View Private Activities privilege and the Can Read All Records setting for the Activity record type enabled in your user role, then you have visibility to all activities that are marked private, regardless of the owner of the activity. The View Private Activities privilege does not allow you to update or delete an activity that is marked private and is owned by another user. If you have the Delete Any Activity privilege and the Can Read All Records setting for the Activity record type enabled in your user role, then you can delete activities that you do not own or activities that are marked private. Typically, the Delete Any Activity and View Private Activities privileges are given to company administrators only. ### What You Can Do From the Activity List Page The following table describes what you can do from the Activity List page. NOTE: If you access the Activity List page through a record Detail page, then some of these features may not be available.
