Working with Codes and UDFs

Use the Activity Details panel to view or update information about an activity, including the codes and UDFs assigned to the activity and the steps required to complete it. Use the Project Details panel to view or update codes and UDFs assigned to the project to which an activity belongs. Group the My Activities page by codes or UDFs to more easily identify activities assigned the same code or UDF.

Codes and UDFs are selected by your manager at the project level, so every activity you have within the same project will have the same list of codes and UDFs available to you. Depending on the project or the practices at your organization, you may or may not be required to update the codes or UDFs.

Text UDFs can include clickable hyperlinks to websites. An administrative setting in P6 can be used to control the URLs that can be opened directly from a clickable link. If a URL or its pattern is not listed in the setting, P6 Team Member copies the link to your clipboard when you click it.
