Working with Activities

Although you might view activities any number of ways in P6, including on dashboards, reports, and the Resource Assignments page, the most common and direct way to work with project activities is on the Activities page and, specifically, in the Activity Table.

This illustration is a graphical representation of the text in the following table.

The Activity Table

Item	Description
	Open Projects: Open the projects you want to work with using the Open Projects control on the context selector. Then click Activities in the Navigation Menu. The Activities page shows which projects are currently open.
	Grid: You can select activities and update them within the grid or on the detail windows.
	Gantt: Refer to the optional Gantt view to supplement your work in the table with a visual representation of the schedule.
