Activity lists

Activity lists control which activities employees see when registering time, and how those activities behave for them. Use lists to give different groups of people a tailored, relevant set of activities instead of the full catalogue.

Overview

A list grants a set of activities to a scope — everyone in the workspace, a team, a role, a project, or a single employee. For each activity in the list you can fine-tune how it appears, and (for personal lists) even hide activities a broader list would otherwise show.

Lists are especially relevant for activities that have Require access list turned on: those activities are only available to employees who receive them through a non-personal list.

Manage activity lists

  1. Go to SettingsActivity Lists
  2. Use Add activity list to create a new one
  3. Click a row to open the list editor
By default the list view hides personal (employee-scoped) lists. Use the Scope filter — or start typing in search — to bring them into view.

Basic information

  • Name and Description
  • Scope — choosing a scope reveals the matching field: pick the unit (with an Include sub-units option), role, project, or employee the list applies to

Activities

Search for an activity and add it to the list. Each entry can be expanded to set its flags:

FlagEffect
SelectedThe activity is shown to the employee
MandatoryThe activity is always present and can’t be removed
FavoriteHighlighted for quick access
DefaultPre-selected when registering time
Excluded(employee lists only) Hides an activity that a broader list would otherwise show

If an activity requires a project or dimensions, you can pin specific values for this list directly on the entry, so employees don’t have to choose them each time.
