Activity Templates

Logistics Execution > Setup > Activities & Actions > Activity Templates

Activity templates predetermine what resources are required to appropriately satisfy an activity. They are tied to an activity master and customized for a particular logistics event.

Select the logistics types for assets, workers, and positions to be involved in the activity. Collection data types and constraints may also be applied to activity templates.

Assign an activity template to a newly created activity to predetermine the assets, workers, and positions required to appropriately satisfy the activity.
