Activity Classes are defined by the ActivityClass Reference Type.

These can be protected by assigning them to Roles. If you see an "M" (for "module"), this indicates that some of the Activity Classes will be hidden if you do not have the corresponding module.

Property Name	Description
Id	Unique identifier of the Activity Class. This must be added as a Reference Value to the ActivityClass Reference Type.
Label	Label for the Activity Class. This is shown in the "Plannable Work" dropdown. You can use this as an alternative label if the identifier is insufficient.
Work SDC	Indicates the sort of Work SDIs that are in this Activity Class. The Plannable SDC that reflects the Work SDIs that can go into this Activity Class. Work SDCs cannot be mixed, so you can choose only one Work SDC.
Show	Shows/hides the Activity Class in the "Plannable Work" dropdown. Hiding can be useful to make large lists more usable, or when OOB Classes are not required.
Testing Department	If you want to show only the Activity Classes for a specific Testing Lab, specify that Testing Lab here. This is useful if some Activity Classes are specific to one Testing Lab.
Testing Department Type	If you want to show only the Activity Classes for a specific Testing Lab Type, specify that Testing Lab Type here. This is useful if you have several of the same Testing Labs across multiple Sites. You can then link the Activity Class to a Testing Lab Type.
Restrictive Where	Restrictive where clause to derive the list of Work SDIs. WAPStatus and TestingDepartmentId are automatically added. NOTE:   The "Restrictive Where" property is available only in LabVantage 8.4.1 and higher LabVantage 8.4.x Maintenance Releases.
Query Category	Query Category for the search element on the Work Assignment page. This lets you limit the Queries available to the planner.
Activity Label	Default label for new Activities. This lets you create a label that will make the Activity easy to recognize when displayed on a Calendar or List. Valid substitution values are: Columns in the Activity table:   [acitivityid], [worksdcid], [testingdeartmentid], [activityconetxtsdcid], [activitycontextkeyid1/2/3] Columns in the ActivityWorkSDI table:   [worksdi.columnid] Columns in the Work SDIs:   [columnid] Time Substitutions:   [shortdate] , [mediumdate] , [longdate] , [datetime] , [shortdatetime] , [time]
Work SDI Display	Defines columns, grouping, and sorting definitions for the list of Work SDIs. Property Name Description Columns Determines behavior and appearance of columns. Property Name Description Id Unique identifierfor this property. ColumnId Identifier of the SDI column containing values displayed in the list. title Text displayed on the column header of the Work SDI list. Mode Display attributes of retrieved values in the column: Mode Description Display Text Shows retrieved values. Hidden Value Hides retrieved values. Display Icon If this column is linked to a Reference Type, "Display Icon" displays the icon defined by that Reference Type; otherwise, it displays the icon specified by the "Display Reference Type" property (below). This allows an arbitrary column to use an icon defined by a Reference Type. Do Not Retrieve By default, all hidden columns are retrieved. This option ignores the column and does not build it into the SDI request query. Use this when you do not want to retrieve columns that are not required. Width Width of the column in pixels. Display Value Semicolon-separated list of values displayed in place of the corresponding retrieved values. Display Reference Type If the "Mode" is Display Icon, this is the Reference Type that defines the icon displayed. "Display Reference Type" overrides the "Display Value" configuration. Display Value takes effect only if the icon is not found in the Reference Type. Pseudo Column Column that is rendered on the page, but does not exist in the SDC. Format Format in which date/time is displayed, as determined by the user's Locale. Translate Value "Yes" translates all values in the column (see Translating Properties). Sort By Specifies how columns are sorted: Property Name Description Identifier Unique identifier for this property. Column Identifier of the SDI column by which to sort all other columns. Direction Specify "Ascending" to sort the column in ascending order, or "Descending" to sort in descending order. If you do not choose a direction, this sorts in ascending order. Dynamic Yes sorts all columns when the current column is clicked, then refreshes the list to show the new sort order. Group By Groups by the SDI column you select, creating expandable-collapsible lists to group the SDIs by this column. Property Name Description Id Unique identifier for this property. Column Id Identifier of the column by which you want to group the SDIs. title Text that precedes the identifier of a group in each collapsible-expandable list. Use As Filter Setting this to "Yes" uses the "Group By" dropdown as filter. Rather than grouping SDIs on the rendered page, only the selected group is rendered.

Activities can be grouped under a single "parent" (context) SDI. This is often a column taken from the first WorkSDI in the Activity (such as "BatchId").

An Activity can have a foreign key or soft link to a parent SDI. For example, you may create an Activity per Batch or per Request. You can extract that BatchId or RequestId and store it in a foreign key column from the Activity itself, making it easier to do things like run queries such as "retireve all Activities for Batch-001".

ContextSDC KeyId3

This property overrides the value specified in the Master Data object. This is useful if you always do this Activity Class in groups of a constant Activity Size (such as groups of 20).
