Use the Insert Repetitive Activities dialog to create a set of activities where the same work has to be done at different dates or at different locations.
Right-click an activity in a time-distance view and select Activity Creation > Repetitive Activity.
Select an Activity template that should be used for the new Activities going to be created or use the template of the activated Activity.
Start date - Set a date when the first Activity should start. If the given day/time is non-work time, then the Activity is moved to the next working period.
Duration - Set the duration of the activity. If the activity duration is calculated, these values might be overwritten.
Select the repeat model. This can be either time or distance. This selection controls the following data entries:
Repeat every - Enter the repeat sequence.
This can be Hour (additional number of hours can be set), Day, Week or Month.
Repeat until - Enter a date/time, when the last activity should be created.
Relative to month' s end - This covers changing month durations. If e.g., the 31 is the selected day, then the activities are always placed at the end of the month.
Start Distance - Enter the start distance coordinates for each Activity.
End Distance - Enter the end distance coordinates for each Activity.
Set constraint - To avoid a reschedule moving the activities, a Start On time constraint can be set.
In this case, all Activities are created in a sequence. The finish of the previous Activity is the start of the next Activity.
Profile - Select the distance profile that should be used.
Activity at profile point - In this case, start and end distance coordinates are generated from the profile point. Activity length has to be defined in the profile. This can be used e.g. for piles in bridge building.
Activity between profile points - In this case, start and end distance coordinates are generated from two profile lines; start and end distances are different. The length of the activity is between 2 profile points. This can be used, e.g., for decks in bridge building.
Activity Length - When Activity at profile point box is checked, the activity length can be selected in the pulldown menu Activity length.
Quantity - Select a field from the profile, which contains the Quantity given to each Activity created.
Limit distance range - Check the box to create a repetitive Activity confined to the section, that is defined by the Start and End combo boxes.
Reverse direction - The creation is done for all lines in the profile. If Reverse direction is selected, the algorithm starts with the last line of the profile, when sorted by distance (highest distance value)
Put Activity on the same bar line - If this option is set, then all Activities created are placed on the same bar line in the Gantt chart.
Link method - this defines whether the Activities will be linked or not
Create Activity name - Different options specify for how to generate Activity and bar name can be entered.
Activity name from template - The names from the templates are used without changing them.
Activity name + coordinate - The coordinate of the profile line is added to the Activity name.
Activity name + sector name - The names stored in the profile line are added to the Activity name.
Activity name + sector name + Coordinates - Like above, but also coordinate is added.
