Overview

In Easy Projects, you add an activity to an existing project only, not any other way.

For instructions on how to create projects, see Adding projects.

To be able to add an activity to an existing project created by some other user, you may need to have ‘Access all projects’ and ‘Add activity’ permissions, too. Unless you have these, you may not be able to access the project in question and thus unable to add an activity to it.

The indicator that a project contains activities is its having a black triangle on the left of its name () that serves also for expanding the project tree.

Procedure

To create an activity:

1. Log in as a user with permission to add activities. See  above, too. If you are logged in already, skip this step.
2. Click Activity Center if not in already.
3. Navigate to the project you wish to add an activity to.
4. Hover over the project row  a to appear in the leftmost, nameless column.
5. Click the plus icon (). An activity placeholder will be created with a T tag () denoting Task (default).
6. Fill in the name of the activity in the placeholder.
7. Pressing Enter saves the created activity and opens another activity placeholder beneath.
8. Pressing Tab saves the created activity and selects the adjacent cell on the right.
9. Another method to save the activity is to click elsewhere in the grid.

Activity Details

After creating an activity, you can furnish it with all the required details, such as type (task, issue or request), start and end dates, estimated hours, status, etc.

To access activity details:

1. Hover the pointer over the row of the activity.
2. Click the Details button ().
3. Fills in the fields in the details panel on the right side of the screen as you see fit.
4. To access additional options and controls, use the toolbar at the top of the panel.
5. To close the details panel, click "X" in its top right corner.
