Copy Activity

Explanation

There are two ways to add activities to a subproject. You can create them new or copy an existing activity.

During copying if an existing activity is selected, this activity is given as the activity to copy. If a subproject is selected, this subproject is given as the subproject to which the new activity will belong.

Prerequisites

A subproject exists with activities that you can copy.

System Effects

• A new activity is created in the selected subproject.
• Activity details are copied from the selected activity, as well as activity classes, connected tasks, misc. demands, resources and valid report codes.
