Use this table window to view and/or enter activity subjects. Click New to add a new line.

Field Description
Activity Subject Code

Enter a unique activity subject code.

There are six Costpoint-defined activity subject codes that display automatically in this field. You cannot modify or delete these codes. Costpoint-defined codes are as follows:

  • CV: Client Visit
  • DCP: Discuss Current Project
  • DO: Discuss Opportunities
  • IM: Initial Meeting
  • PAD: Post Award Debriefing
  • WPM: Weekly Project Meeting

For user-defined codes, once the code is used on the Manage Activities screen or on the Activities subtask of the Manage Opportunities, Manage Contracts, Manage Subcontracts, Manage Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI), or Manage Leads and Contacts screen, you will not be able to delete it on this screen.

Activity Subject Description

Enter a unique description for new activity subject codes. For existing codes, you can modify this field for both user- and system-defined activity subject codes.

Note: Duplicate descriptions are not allowed regardless of case sensitivity (for example, CLIENT VISIT and client visit are considered duplicates). Make sure to enter a unique description when adding or editing records to avoid an error.
Show in Lookup

This check box is selected by default for both user- and system-defined activity subject codes, but you can modify it. Keep it selected to display the activity subject code in the lookup of the Subject field on the Manage Activities screen and on the Activities subtask of the Manage Opportunities, Manage Contracts, Manage Subcontracts, Manage Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI), and Manage Leads and Contacts screens. Only those codes that are available in the lookup can be used for new records on those screens.

If you clear this check box for a code that was already used in an existing record on any of these screens, you will still be able to save that record as long as you do not replace the activity subject code for that record.

Source This field displays System (system-defined code) or User (user-defined code). You cannot modify this field.
