Activity Manager is a tool for setting up the Company Activity list for the work that your company performs. It also provides a way to apply cost categories and cost codes to each activity so material, labor and other project related costs can be tracked throughout the life cycle of the project. Users with project level permissions can import the activities into each project to easily set up the Activity Log and Budget modules for the project.
