Activity Codes
The Activity Codes screen is used to indicate which activity codes can be selected for Requests to Work.
Note: Multiple activity codes can be activated for Requests to Work at the same time by using the Replace features. More About Replacing Activity Code Values
The Replace feature is used to update multiple selected activity code records at the same time with the same field information or the same indicator and/or parameter values.
To replace fields in one or more records, complete the following steps:
- Using the Search page selection criteria, search for all the activity code records to be updated. Multiple searches can be conducted to build a results list.
- Check the selection box on each record to be updated.
- Click on the Replace button in the left pane.
A screen is displayed with all replaceable fields showing as read only.
- Check the selection box on a field to be updated. The field is then enabled.
- Enter the new information in the field.
- Update any additional fields in all tabs.
- Values in the Indicator and Parameter tabs can also be updated by entering values in each field.
- To reset all the values back to the previously saved ones, click on the Reset button. Note: Once the records have been saved, the values cannot be reset to the previous values. They would have to be re-entered as updated values, following steps 1-8.
- Click on the Save button to save the changes.
- All selected records are now updated, with the new information replacing the old information in the selected fields.
