Managing time > Adding activities based on time standards
Edit data card activities in the Time view
Since time codes are common and generally known to time engineers, Teamcenter allows you to type the code directly in the Code box of an activity. Teamcenter automatically retrieves the time and name of the activity from the data card. In this way, you can use the time standards without opening the data card.
Procedure
Double-click in the Code cell of an activity in the Activities table.
Type a modified entry into the cell.
When you edit the Code cell, Teamcenter provides you with a list of all the codes available in the data card. As you type a new code, or any part of a code, into the cell, Teamcenter reduces this list to show only those codes from the data cards that contain the characters you type. For example, if you type kz, the list displays all codes that contain those two consecutive letters anywhere in the string, such as 2000AKZ05. Select a code from the list and press the Enter key. Teamcenter replaces the time information of the activity with the new time information as defined in the data card.
If you edit the time entry of the cell, you overwrite the predefined data card time.
The tool tips in the Activities table display the complete activity data card information.
