How do I add new activities? (Admin)

To add a new activity:

1. Click Forms in the left navigation panel
2. Click Activities
3. Click Add
4. Fill in these fields:

• Name*: Displayed on the time study
• Description*: Brief activity description
• Long Description: When you hover over the activity on the form, you'll see this description
• Category*: The major category that the activity falls under (this impacts where the activity appears on the form and also allows for category-based reporting) 
• Time Form*: The form(s) that the activity should appear on (select more than one by holding down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac) when clicking)
• Sort Order: Organize the activities within each category by numbering them (activity 1 would appear as the first activity under its category)
• Type (for healthcare clients): Notes if the activity is Part A, Part B, Other, or None
• Cost Center: If this activity is associated with a specific cost center, you can use this to compare time reported in our system with payroll or other data that may identify activities under cost centers
• Include In Reports: Yes/No
• LOA: Yes/No - If yes, then instead of inputting hours, the Reporter would select from a dropdown of LOA types - this list of LOA types can be controlled under Control Panel > Master Files > LOA Types
• GME: Yes/No - if it's a GME related activity (related to time spent on Graduate Medical Education duties) 
• Non-Productive Time: Yes/No - If this activity represents Non-Productive Time 
• Duty: Yes/No - If yes, then a user will only see this activity if they have it listed in their user profile settings and are assigned to the appropriate Duty Time Form
• Active: Yes/No
