Configuring action items for the Activity Center Widget

Action items are assigned based on security group and not on an individual user basis. Therefore, an action item assigned to a given security group will be visible to all users who belong to that security group and not just to a specific user.

This table shows the fields that should be specified in the Activity Center maintenance form:


Field	Description
Name	The action item name to be displayed in the activity center widget.
Description	Optionally, the description of the action item.
Start Date	The action item will not be displayed before this date.
End Date	The action item will not be displayed before this date.
Priority	Determines how action items are ordered with Priority 1 listed at the top followed by priority 2, 3, and so on. If priorities are the same for different action items, the action items are listed in alphabetical order.
Security Group	Optionally, determines the security group to which the action item applies. Multiple security groups can be selected for a single action item. If no security group is selected, the action item will not be displayed in the activity center widget for any security group.
Frequency	Determines how frequently the action item is to appear: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
Frequency Details	Determines the days on which the action item is displayed: Daily: Number of days between appearances. Weekly: Number of weeks between appearances and on which day of the week. Monthly: Number of months between appearances, with an option to either select a specific day of the month or a day of the week. Yearly: Number of years between appearances and on which specific month and day.
