Create a time activity from an MTM

You can create an operational activity for use in time analysis by accessing a Methods-Time Measurement (MTM) data card, if MTM data is configured by your administrator.

Note

Time activities require that your administrator sets the value of the preference EP_TimeAnalysisMode = ACTIVITIES.

Procedure

  1. Access the Time Management panel.

  2. In the Time Management toolbar, click Add Activity .

  3. In the Add Activity dialog box, from the left tree panel, select a preferred data card.

  4. In the selected data card, hover your mouse overs cells in time-measurement unit (TMU) columns to read their descriptions.

  5. To create a new activity as an instance of a TMU cell's properties, click the cell.

       The new activity is created in the Time Management panel with the properties of the selected MTM.
