In this IMG activity, you define the steps that you execute in business processes to control the behavior of an object. Therefore, each activity that you define must be assigned to a control area and control key. Within an organization, the control area and control key determine the range of an activity. For each activity, you maintain the following:

  1. A plausibility check set to determine the possible business checks that must be performed for an activity.
  2. An activity category to determine the internal behavior of activities. The standard system provides activity categories that you can choose from. These are listed further on in this document.
  3. User interface (UI) features that determine how the screen will be presented for the activity. These include
    • Object Screen - To determine the status of the fields on the screen. For example, for a specific activity, a field may be mandatory for input, or hidden for display.
    • UI Activity - To determine the corresponding user interface activity for each activity. For example, if activity Create, or Change must be triggered.
    • Activity group- To specify if the activity is part of an activity group. This assignment determines that the activities in the activity group that must be displayed in the toolbar. For example, for an activity group Change, you can define the activities before release, in release and after release.
    • Sequence number if an activity is part of an activity group. This number will determine the position of an activity in the activity group. For example, for an activity group such as Legally Active defined for an asset type, you can define the sequence in which activities appear, namely, Set legally active, Set Inactive and Reset Inactive.
  4. User status transition - Values that determine whether activity control is possible for the user status and the possible result of the activity. You can choose from three possibilities that may lead to a status transition:
    • Set - User status can be set for the object on completion of the business activity.
    • Delete - User status is deleted on completion of the business activity.
    • No influence - Use status is not changed on completion of the business activity.
  5. Message Severity - Each activity inherits messages of the plausibility checks of the check set assigned to it. You can choose to specify message type for the messages

    Note: If you do not specify a message type, the default message type assigned in the Customizing of plausibility checks will be used.

    The standard system provides the following message types:

    • Abort
    • Warning
    • Error
    • Success
    • Information
  6. GUI function codes - Screen elements such as the buttons that must be excluded from the screens of the activity.
  7. Flags to specify usage of the activity:
    • Default activity - To determine that this activity that is triggered each time the user selects an asset of the specified type in the hit list of the CM workbench.
    • Change during release - To specify that the activity must be initiated in Change mode during release process
    • Display during release - To specify that the activity must be initiated in Display mode during release process
    • Create - To specify that this activity is to be used to create an object.
