Creating task activities

To create activities for a task, breaking it down into smaller steps:

Right-click the task that you want to break down into smaller steps using task activities and select Properties. The Bar and Task Properties dialog appears.
Click the Task tab, then click Task Activities in the left pane of the dialog. The grid on this page displays a list of all task activities that have been associated with the task.
Click Add to add a new task activity to the grid. The new task activity appears at the bottom of the list of task activities.
Enter a descriptive name to identify the task activity in the Name column. Each task activity name in the grid must be unique.
Specify a factor by which the progress of the task activity should be multiplied to affect its impact on progress of the task in the Weight column. The greater the weight of a task activity, the greater proportion of the task duration it will contribute to as it is completed. If a task activity has a weight of zero, it will not contribute towards the progress of the task at all.
Repeat steps 3-5 to add any further task activities to the task.
To add task activities from a task activity template, select the template in which the task activities are defined in the field beneath the Add button then select Add From Template.

If you add a predefined list of task activities from a template, they are added beneath any existing task activities. If a task has an existing task activity with an identical name to one of the activities in the template, a warning is displayed and none of the task activities from the template are added to the task.
