Activity codes

Hi Pat,

If I understood you question correctly, Activity Code cannot be assigned to Resources. You can only assign Resource Code to Resources but not Activity Code. Correct me if I am wrong.

First you need to create your Resource Code (not Activity Code).

Go to: Enterprise: Scroll down to Resource n Add your codes

Next Go to >>>>The Resources Button (find your foreman, or whoever you are going to assign the codes you created)

Find the TAB (CODES) N Click on It
Next HIT Assign (find the codes you created n assign to the appropriate resource)

you should also add the column for the resource so you can see who is getting assigned

I think this is what you wanted to do?

i dunno

but also you can create an activity code called (responsibility)

Go To Enterprise

>Activity Code
>Hit Modify
>HIT ADD
>N TYPE Responsibility (Now You Got your Grouping Band)(close that window)

Go To > Activity Code (click on the down arrow that has all the activity codes and select (responsibility)

Now Add New Responsibility Code Values N Description

So you have now added all your code values n description

Now go to the Activities Layout>>>

Find An Activity: Right Click on your mouse N assign (Activity Code)(Make Use all DISPLAY VALUE ARE SHOW (IF NOT CLICK ON IT N SELECT ALL VALUES)

The Easiest Way to find it again is to just Click on an Activity Code do a CTRL + F (and type the code you want to assign) that will find it. N now just double click on it..YOur done now

@ arnold your are correct that is why i thought his Q was a bit weird....

Hi Pat,

Just like what I’ve said activity codes in Primavera are used for activity grouping flexibility. Let’s say your default activity grouping is by WBS, and your boss want’s an activity layout grouped by sub contractor; that is the time we can use activity codes. Just add an activity codes CONTRACTOR and define values for contractor. In that way your grouping will be changed from WBS to By Contractors.

I think what you really want to do is assign resources to activities where your activity codes were assigned.

Let’s say an activity(concrete pouring), you have assigned an activity code. I think we can make a workaround by using the global change. A global change that will assign specific resources to activities with the assigned activity code.
