How to work with activity

Scope of this guide

This guide is focused on working with activities using the SAFE web application. If you want to learn about API interactions see FRMSc API documentation or Apps.

The Activities box is a scrollable box that lets you view, add or change granularities in your duty. To access this form, right-click a duty entry on the fatigue chart and select Activities.

This form breaks down duty start and end times into 15-minute intervals, displaying them sequentially as a list. Additionally, the fatigue score appears in the column next to the time intervals.

If no activities are set for an interval, the region between the interval and the fatigue score is blank. However, if there is an activity set for an interval, the type of the activity is shown in that region.

In this guide, we will learn how to manage activities using the web application.

Add an activity

The workflow

Adding an activity is only a step in a larger workflow. The steps below isolate creating activity from that workflow. To learn how to create a new activity as part of the entire workflow, see the Individual entry method in the How to load data into SAFE guide.

Overwriting activity?

You can't add an activity for an interval, which already has an activity set. Such action shows an error. If you want to overwrite an activity, you might want to try editing it. You could also delete an existing activity from an interval and a new activity over the interval to mimic overwriting.

To add an activity:

1. Right-click a duty entry on the fatigue chart and select Activities.
2. The Activities box appears. Click the + icon at the top-left of the box. Alternatively, you can right-click a blank interval, which you want to set the activity for and select the + icon.
3. The Create Activity form appears. Enter appropriate values to the properties in the form. See Activity properties for more information on each property.
4. Click Create. The Create Activity form closes and the activity is shown on the Activities box for that interval.
5. Click the close icon () at the top-right of the box to close the Activities box. The fatigue chart reloads, showing the updated analysis.
