To create the Activity Code, do the following:
Go to the Enterprise menu -> Activity Codes…
- If there is a notification like an image below, click OK.
- At the top of the Activity Codes page, there are three options Global, EPS, Project. Select Global if you want your Activity Code to be accessible at all EPS levels.

- Then click the Modify button.
- On the Activity Code Definitions page, fill in the activity code by clicking the Add button.
- Fill in the Activity Code as shown in the following table:
| Activity Code |
| HC-Park Phase |

Result:
- In the example above, the activity code is based on the Phase of work and Category of work HC-Park Phase and HC-Park WOCT. This field can be adjusted according to the Project data you are using. For larger projects, you can define activity codes for Area, Location (more detailed area), etc.
- When finished, click the Close button.
- Now, you have two activities codes that you can enter the Code Value. Fill in each activity code with Code Value as shown in the following table:
