Business Activity

The Business Activity (BUSACTV) reference page is used to define each unique instance of a business activity. Please note that a business activity is independent of a business role or business process, which allows an activity to be shared across multiple roles or even multiple times within a single role, and be defined only once. Note: The Enterprise Search Lite Indexer job must be run after changes are made to this page.

Field InformationField Information

Field Name	Description
Business Activity ID	A unique identification of a business activity for system use. Business Activity IDs less than 500000 are reserved for delivered and sample business activities. Numbering is controlled by a Unique Numbering record of R_BUS_ACTV.
Business Activity Name	A required long descriptive name of a business activity. This value is displayed to users in the primary navigation menu and used for the title of the business process landing page.
Business Activity Short Name	A required short descriptive name of a business activity. When multiple business activities have the same name (for example, Record Activity), it is helpful to use this field or the Internal Business Activity Description field to clearly differentiate the records.
Business Activity Description	A required lengthy description of a business activity that is intended to convey to a user that the activity contains the system resource necessary to complete their task. This information appears at the top of each business activity section on a business process landing page.
Internal Business Activity Description	An optional lengthy descriptive field to capture any type of internal information for subsequent business role administrators about a business activity.
Active	An indication that can be used to prevent the display of a business activity within all associated business roles without deleting that association. This feature allows the retention of ‘future use’ activities.
Type of Activity	A required setting that defines the primary use of an activity: Reference Data, Research, and Business Data Entry. Currently, this field is not used by the application.
Parent Business Process	A system-maintained field that lists each Business Process ID and Business Process Name that a business activity is associated with for informational purposes in the event, a modification to the activity is being considered and the impact of that change needs to be known. Updates to this field are made when adding associations on the Business Role Association page.
