Assign a Task to an Activity or Modify an Activity on the Task List Page

Video

If there are tasks or task milestones in your project that are associated with an activity, you can assign them to that activity, or modify existing tasks for that activity. This enables you to keep track of the tasks required to complete an activity. Multiple tasks can be assigned to an activity. The activity type must be Activity Dependent or Resource Dependent. Private tasks assigned to an activity will remain private. You can group, sort, and filter tasks in the table or Gantt chart according to their assigned activity and other activity details. For example, you can modify columns to display the Activity Start date and create a filter for Activity Finish dates.

To assign a task to an activity:

  1. In the object selector, select Project or Program, and then select a project or a program from the list.
  2. From the Main Menu, select Tasks, and then select Task List.
  3. In the table, select the task.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • In the Activity column, select the activity to which you want to assign the task.
    • Right-click one or more tasks and select Assign Activity to assign the same activity to all of the selected tasks. In the Assign Activity dialog box, leave the Activity field blank to remove any existing activity assignment from the selected tasks.
    • In the Hand-off Flow detail window, right-click a task and select Assign Activity.
  5. All changes made to this page are saved automatically.
