What are Activity Categories?
Activity Categories are used to classify Activities into generic groups based on specific common attributes. Activity Categories follow a hierarchical tree structure.
- Navigate to Activity Categories and explore existing entries via the Summary page. Activity Categories follow a hierarchical structure, with 'parent' rows linked to multiple 'children' rows directly beneath them.
- Click on the link (Name or Number) of the entry of your interest to open a modal with the related details. Select an existing Category for the 'parent' to make the specific Category a 'child' or erase the 'parent' name to make the Category a 'parent' itself.
- Either SAVE the changes or cancel (X) and go back to the Summary page.
- Create a new (ADD) or delete an existing one (REMOVE).
- Use EXPAND ALL to view 'parents' and 'children' and COLLAPSE ALL to only view 'parents'.
