3. Delete sub-activities
4. Activity's implementation rate based on the weighting of sub-activities
5. Add milestones to your sub-activities
6. Enable sub-activities in your LogAlto platform

Create sub-activities

To create sub-activities:

• Open the activity creation panel. To do so: 
  • Either 1) access the project dashboard, then click "Activities" in the project menu, then click the pen icon.
  • Or 2) from the activity dashboard, click the pen icon next to the activity code.
• In the "Implementation measure" drop-down list, select "Sub-activities".

• A first "empty" sub-activity appears below. 

• Edit the sub-activity's name, assignee, start date, end date and weighting.
  • Start and end dates of sub-activities must be within the activity's start and end dates.
  • Weighting is auto-generated (by default, it will be the lenght of the sub-activity in days) but can be modified. (see the "Implementation rate based on weighting" section below for more details)
• Click the "Add sub-activity" button to add more sub-activities.
• Click "Save"

If the "Sub-activities" isn't available,  you can read the  Enable sub-activities in your LogAlto platform article for more detailed instruction.

Edit/modify sub-activities

To edit sub-activities:

• Open the activity creation panel. To do so: 
  • Either 1) access the project dashboard, then click "Activities" in the project menu, then click the pen icon.
  • Or 2) from the activity dashboard, click the pen icon next to the activity code.
• Sub-activities are listed below the "Implementation measure" drop-down list.
• To modify a sub-activity, simply change its name, assignee, start date, end date or weighting directly from this grid.
• Click "Save".

Delete sub-activities

To delete sub-activities:

• Open the activity creation panel. To do so: 
  • Either 1) access the project dashboard, then click "Activities" in the project menu, then click the pen icon.
  • Or 2) from the activity dashboard, click the pen icon next to the activity code.
• Sub-activities are listed below the "Implementation measure" drop-down list.
• Click the trash can icon (right side of each sub-activity row) to delete a sub-activity.
• Click "Save".

Implementation rate of the activity based on the weighting of sub-activities

When sub-activities are created (in the activity panel), the weighting is auto-generated (by default, it will be the lenght in days) but can be modified.

The only purpose of weighting sub-activities is to be able to later on automatically calculate the implementation rate of the activity based on the completion of its sub-activities.

The rate of the activity will be 100 * (weight of completed sub-activities / total weight of all sub-activities)

Example:

In this example, the total weight of all sub-activities is 68 (14+2+33+1+13+5). 

If the first 3 sub-activities are completed, then the implementation rate of the activity will be 100 * (49/68) = 72%.

Add milestones to your sub-activities

You can setup milestones for your sub-activities.

To do so: When creating/editing a sub-activity you click on the new "milestones " flag icon.

A window will pop up allowing you to set up milestones.

The "Completion" field allow to use milestones to calculate the progress towards the completion of the activity. So ideally, the implementation rate of the activity should be 100% when all milestones are achieved.

From the activity dashboard, you can now see the sub-activity's milestones by clicking on the "+" button next to its name.

From there, you can mark a milestone as achieved like you would normally do.

Note that the completion rate is calculated by the % of the milestone x the sub-activity's weight. So in this example 25% of a sub-activty weighted at 14 out of 28 = 12.5% activity completion rate (13% rounded up).

Enable sub-activities in your LogAlto platform

This feature may not have been enabled on your LogAlto platform.

The sub-activities are disabled on you platform if you don't have the "Sub-activities" option in the "Implementation measure" drop-down list (in the Activity creation panel) . 

If that is the case and you would like to enable it, please contact us at  support@logalto.com so we can verify if your organization has access to this feature and we can contact your administrator to discuss enabling it.
