6.2 Editing activities
Depending on the applicable user rights, the user can edit different fields. This also
varies according to the function of the user (owner, responsible, no assignment).
Changes are logged in the history of the activity.
Changes to an activity are only applied once the activity is saved. This applies also
in particular to file attachments. If a file is uploaded for an activity, the activity must
be saved. Otherwise, the file will not be linked with the activity.
6.3 Recurring activities
Activities that recur regularly can also be created.
For an activity to be able to recur, it must first acquire each state in the standard
way. Once an activity reaches the state "Closed" it is automatically reset to "Open".
The basic requirement for input of a recurring period is the entry of a due date.
Following setting of the state "Closed", the following takes place:
• The state changes to "Open"
• The new due date is then set to the previous due date plus the recurring period
If a recurring activity is to be closed for good, the "Recurring Period" field must be
set to "None".
7 Reports
Activities can be output in EMC reports.
In doing so, the state of the activities can be used as a filter criterion. If different
filter criteria are selected when requesting a report, all activities matching at least
one of the criteria are output.
The appendix contains examples in regard to this topic.
