Activity Management

Define the types of work employees can book time against — development, review, testing, deployment — and map them to the projects where each applies.

Navigation

CoreHR → Employee Data Management → Project → Activities

Add an Activity

On This Screen
Add Activity form
Activity name and at least one project mapping are required. Description is optional but helps employees pick the right activity when logging time.

Add Activity — Field Reference

Field Description Required
Activity Name Short label shown in the timesheet dropdown (e.g. Development, Code Review). Required
Description Optional clarifying text displayed on hover. Optional
Project Mapping One or more projects where this activity can be booked. Unmapped activities do not appear in the timesheet dropdown. Required
Billable Flag indicating whether time against this activity is client-billable. Used in billing exports. Optional

Delete an Activity

Deletion is allowed only when no timesheet entries reference the activity. If entries exist, unmap the activity from every project instead — that hides it from future timesheets but preserves history.

On This Screen
Delete Activity
A confirmation dialog appears before deletion. The action is blocked when the activity is referenced by any time entry.

Map Activities to a Project

An activity must be mapped to a project before employees can book time against that project/activity pair. You can map during activity creation or add mappings later by editing the activity.

On This Screen
Activity → Project mapping
The mapping controls which options appear in the Activity dropdown on the timesheet form. Mapping is many-to-many — one activity can span multiple projects, and one project can have many activities.

Frequently Asked

Common questions

Why doesn't my new activity appear in the timesheet dropdown?+
Activities only appear for projects they're mapped to. Edit the activity and add the project mapping.
Can I mark an activity as Billable for some projects and Non-Billable for others?+
The Billable flag is set at the activity level. If you need project-specific billing rules, create separate activities (e.g. "Development - Billable", "Development - Internal").
What happens if I unmap an activity from a project with existing entries?+
Historical entries stay intact and remain visible in reports. The activity is hidden from the timesheet dropdown for that project going forward.
