Create operation activities using the Activities view

Each operation can have individual activities that break down the operation into steps describing in detail what is done as part of that operation. For example, a material procurement operation may include an activity to unload the material and another activity to move the material to a storage area. The activities are created as children of the operation.

Each activity is defined by its type, description, start time, and duration. An activity can also reference Teamcenter objects. This enables you to attach any forms to the activity that represent features and their associated tooling and instructions.

Note

You cannot create revisions of activities.

The cumulative time of all activities is recorded and charted on the Activities Gantt view.
