Level Addressing Rules

  • The number and size of levels you define in the activity group determine the format of activity level addresses. For example, if you defined three levels and assigned a size of three to each level, a level address for one of your first level activities might be 001-000-000. If you have four levels, each with a size of four, one of your first level activities might be 0001-0000-0000-0000.

  • Each activity's level address must be unique within the activity group. This allows you to re-use the same level addresses for similar activities in different activity groups.
