Activity definition
You can create one or more Activity definitions for each object that requires maintenance. In these definitions, you specify all the information that is needed to schedule and carry out (maintenance) activities. You can create activity definitions for:
Assets
Spaces
Rentable units
Properties
Activity definitions can be created in the following ways:
Automatically, when an asset is created that is based on a Standard asset.
Automatically, based on Standard activity scopes. (For more information, see Standard activity scopes for standard activity definitions and Creating scopes for standard activity definitions).
Manually, by applying a Standard activity definition as a template.
Manually, by creating an activity definition from scratch.
Automatically, based on Business events and Decision rules.
When you create an activity definition, you can add planning details, costs, and checklist items. If applicable, you can also link a contract line. The activity definition remains Inactive at this stage. When you are satisfied with the activity definition and its configured details, you can link it to an active Plan and set its status to Active. At that point, you will be able to generate orders.
