Activities tab

On the Activities tab is a list of all primary production Activities (those directly associated with individual Operations/Modules). Activities can also be assigned here to this particular category. (This is not the preferred way).

Time Usage Activities tab

On this tab is a list of all activities that are not direct module production activities that are assigned to the Category.

New Time Usage Activities can be created and assigned to this open Category by clicking the

mceclip8.png

button.

  • Give it a name.

  • Choose either None or Equipment in the Object Type.

    • None means the Activity choice is available at all times.

    • Equipment means the Activity choice is only available if Equipment use has been recorded in the tablet use session (i.e. a min of 1 prestart has been done during the tablet user session). This option just helps minimise Activity choices available to tablet users.

  • Click
