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
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.
