About the Activities Application

As a supervisor or an operator, you can use the Activities application to create and perform activities associated with an event in the specified duration of a shift. After you perform an activity, you can analyze the data entered for a variable in the quartile view or in a whisker chart.

You can perform an activity for the following types of events:

Time-based: An event that occurs at a scheduled time.
Production-based: A production-based event for a lot or batch on a production line.
User-defined: A manually recorded event used to document important occurrences related to process operations.
Product change: An event that occurs when there is a product change on a production unit.
Process order change: An event that occurs when the process order for the associated production unit is set to Complete in Plant Applications Administrator.
Note: You cannot create an activity for a process order change event in the Activities application. You can only filter the activities associated with this event type.
