Activities Components

The Activities feature comes with two customization options that organizations can choose from: Aura Component or Lightning Web Component:

  • Aura components are the self-contained and reusable units of an app. They represent a reusable section of the UI and can range in granularity from a single line of text to an entire app.

  • Lightning Web Components (LWC) are a new app-centric model that provides business and datalogics to develop dynamic web applications meant for desktop and mobile devices. Because they’re built on code that runs natively in browsers, LWCs are lightweight and deliver exceptional performance.

Design Attributes: Activities LIGHTNING WEB COMPONENT

Design attributes can be used for controlling editing elements on the Activities LWC component. They can
be used for hiding/displaying buttons and editing colors of various elements on the Activities LWC
component.

Update “Activity Type” - “Status” Dependency LIGHTNING WEB COMPONENT AURA COMPONENT

As a System Administrator, if you want to update the “Status” picklist values available for a specific “Activity Type”, then you can do this by updating the field dependency between the Activity Type and Status fields within the Activity object. 

Please note that this is an optional step. You can make these changes if you want to update the values available for the Status picklist field for a specific Activity Type.

By default, the field dependency is configured in the following manner:

  1. Activity Type = “Task”, then “Status” = Planning, In Progress, Complete

  2. Activity Type = “Milestone”, then “Status” = Open, Complete

In order to update the Activity Type - Status field dependency, you would have to: 

  1. Update picklist dependency on the “Activity Type” field;

  2. Clone and update the validation rule on the “Status” field;

  3. Update instruction (4c) within the Implementation Plan DL/UL Excel by updating the custom label “PREPARE_UPLOAD_4C”.

Field Sets: Activities LIGHTNING WEB COMPONENT AURA COMPONENT

This section details how to customize the field sets on both the Activity Aura and Lightning Web Components:

The Activity field sets currently support all field types except Encrypted String and Time. The behavior of these two unsupported fields is denoted beneath each field set.

CREATE_NEW_ACTIVITY_POPUP: Fields displayed in “Add New Activity” Pop-up

  • Object: Activity__c

  • Field set name: CREATE_NEW_ACTIVITY_POPUP

  • Unsupported field types: Encrypted String, Time

If viewing/modifying multiple Implementation Plans at once, Implementation_Plan__c must be included in this field set in order for new Activities to be added to the correct Implementation Plan.

EDIT_ACTIVITY_POPUP: Fields Displayed in “Edit Activity” Pop-up

  • Object: Activity__c

  • Field set name: EDIT_ACTIVITY_POPUP

  • Unsupported field types: Encrypted String, Time

ACTIVITY_TABLE_COLUMNS: Column Fields on Activity Chart (between Activity Name and Timeline)

  • Object: Activity__c

  • Field set name: ACTIVITY_TABLE_COLUMNS

  • Unsupported field types: Encrypted String, Time.

    • If added to the field set, unsupported fields will be hidden

It is recommended to include no more than 3 fields in the Activity Table for users to be able to view the information in a user-friendly manner.

ACTIVITY_TABLE_SEARCH_FILTER: Fields Used in Expanded Search Filters and Search Bar

  • Object: Activity__c

  • Field set name: ACTIVITY_TABLE_SEARCH_FILTER

  • Unsupported field types: Encrypted String, Long Text Area, Rich Text Area, Time

    • If added to the field set, unsupported fields will display an error message “Data-Type not supported”.

ACTIVITY_INFO_POPOVER: Fields Used in Information Popover when Hovering Over an Activity in the Gantt chart

  • Object: Activity__c

  • Field set name: ACTIVITY_INFO_POPOVER

  • Unsupported fields/field types:

    • Status__c field on Activity__c will display a number value instead of the picklist value

IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN_EXCEL_COLUMNS: Implementation Plan Upload/Download - Fields Displayed in Downloaded Excel File from Implementation Plan Record

  • Object: Activity__c

  • Field set name: IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN_EXCEL_COLUMNS

  • Partially supported field types: Auto-number, Formula, Date, Date/Time

    • Values in the Auto-number field can be downloaded in an Excel file but will throw
      an error when uploading the Excel.

    • When the Excel file with Activity records containing a formula field is uploaded to
      the Implementation Plan record, the file uploads successfully without throwing any
      error messages in the error log. However, any values added to or updated in the
      formula field do not reflect in Amp Impact.

  • Unsupported field types: Lookup or master-detail fields on the parent object

    • For example, ampi__Project_Indicator__c.ampi__Catalog_Indicator__c cannot be
      downloaded in the Implementation Plan Excel
