This article will discuss how to Create Activity Categories at the Network level.


Network Activities can be accessed via the Application Catalog. Click the View link next to Activities in the Modules listview.

You will then be directed to the Network Activity Categories main page. 

The Network Activity Categories main page contains a listview of all the currently Active Network Activity Categories.

This page also contains the Action of "Add New Activity Category.” To Create a New Network Activity Category click the “Add New Activity Category” link.

You will then be taken to the Activity Category creation page.

Begin by entering a Category Name

Next, you will set up the configuration defaults for the Activity Category. This configuration will impact what fields will appear when creating new “Activity Types.”

Setting the Registration default to “yes” will make the various Registration fields appear. These fields will appear on Activities created in this Category. 

Type in the desired Registrant Label, then select which Registration Types you would like to record on Activities.

When selecting the “Manual Count” option, the “Manual Registration Types” toggler row will appear, which will allow you to designate your own labels for Registration Types.

Next you can set “Add Other Manual Type?”to Yes or No. Choosing “Add Other Manual Type?” allows users to specify Other manual types during registration. Without this option enabled, they will be limited to only the types defined in Manual Registration Types.

Once you have finished configuring the Registration field, set whether or not Notes and Documents can be added to Activities in this Category.

Next, set whether or not Providers will be recorded on Activities in this category, and fill out the related pertinent Provider fields.

Next, set whether or not Location information will be recorded on Activities in this category, and fill out the related pertinent Location fields

Lastly, set whether or not Language and Contact Method information will be recorded on Activities in this category. 

Once you have configured the Activity Category defaults, click “Create Activity Category”. You will then be directed to the Activity Category profile page. The Activity Category profile page contains the Category Details, as well as the Configuration Defaults that were set up for the Category.

Also, at the bottom of the page is a listview of all the Activity Types that have been created for this Activity Category.

Lastly, on the left hand side of the page are the Activity Category Actions. These actions can be used to Edit the current Activity Category, Disable the Activity Category you are currently viewing, Create a New Activity Type for the Category, or to Batch Create new Activity Types.
