Define Activity Groups
Use an activity group to define complex and often recurring activities. An activity group is a summary of several activities including their properties for a group. These activities can already be linked for a later reschedule. Each activity group is handled by insight Tilos like a sub-project.
Ways to access
Select Tilos Explorer > Library > Activity Libraries > Activity Groups to open a list of already existing Activity Groups in the Working Window.
Options
Add Activity Group - click the icon to add new Activity groups.
Add Sub Activity Group - click the icon to add new Activity groups in the level beneath.
Delete Activity Group - click the icon to delete selected entries in the list.
[...]: click the icon to open and edit the Properties of an Activity group.
Default: The default Activity group is used when new groups are created. The display attributes for the time distance view of the group are copied from that default view.
If in Tools > Options > Project the option Open Gantt chart view for Activity groups is set, then the Gantt chart view is opened to edit the Activity group. The text panel settings are taken from the default view, but they are kept on changing inside the same Tilos session.
Exchanging Data with other Programs
