Define Custom Activities at Runtime

Assigned planners can now add ad hoc activities and set their own due dates on the Activity Tracking tab and the Planner Worklist. Agency staff with elevated access can update the activity status on the Activity Tracking tab and the Planner Worklist, but they can't add an activity on the Planner Worklist. If an activity is added by mistake, simply set the status to Canceled.

This new configuration to allow agency staff to define custom planning activities that can be added at runtime, without being dependent on the product triggers.

Steps to Enable

You must configure custom activities to use during runtime. Navigate to Common Setup > Activity to add new custom activities.

Tips And Considerations

When user with the privilege to add custom activities clicks the 'Add' button to add custom activity, it will present a modal window to choose activities already associated with the Activity Group linked to planning application. If you want to choose other activities in the system, choose the 'Show All' toggle button which will show all activities currently enabled in the system.

Creating custom activities in Planning Application is enabled only for the Planner of the planning application and users with elevated access. For all other agency staff users, the Add new activity button will not show on the page.

For information about agency staff elevated access, see Using Community Development Planning and Zoning, Tracking Planning Application Activities, Security Details for Tracking Planning Application Activities.
