Add and edit an activity in the phase plan
Build and adjust your phase pull plan
In the phase pull, you can add, edit and manage high-level planning activities directly. You can create new tasks, adjust details and manage constraints — all within the planning view.
Add a new activity
To add an activity to a phase pull lane:
- Right-click on the lane in which you want to place the activity (or press and hold on a touchscreen).
- In the contextual menu, select Add activity.
- The Add activity dialog will open. Fill out the following fields:
- Activity name — required.
- Schedule activity ID — optional.
- Trade — required. Select from the drop-down list.
- By default, only active trades are shown.
- Use the Active trades toggle to view all trades (active and inactive).
- Number of days — duration of the activity (1–99). Default is 1.
- Crew size — number of people assigned (1–99). Default is 2.
- Click Save to create the activity or Cancel to discard changes.
Note: The Save button will remain disabled until all required fields are completed.
Edit an existing activity
To modify an activity already placed in the phase pull lane:
- Right-click any tag of the activity you want to update.
- Alternatively, double-click (or double-tap on a touchscreen) to open the edit dialog.
- In the menu, select Edit activity.
- The Edit activity dialog will open. You can update:
- Activity name — required
- Schedule activity ID — optional
- Trade — required (select from drop-down list)
- Constraints — view any existing constraints tied to the activity
- Use the drop-down list to review constraints
- Click Add constraint to open the constraint creation dialog
- Copy activity — use this option to create a duplicate activity with the same setup
- Click Save to confirm your edits or Cancel to discard.
Note: To adjust the number of days in an activity, use the 3-dot control in the lower-left corner of the tag.
Add a constraint to an existing activity
Inside the Edit activity dialog, you can add a constraint to the selected activity. Adding constraints directly in the dialog ensures that blockers are captured in real time and associated with an activity — keeping the whole team informed and proactive.
- On the constraint drop-down list, click Add constraint.
- Fill out the following fields:
- Constraint name — required
- Activity constrained — auto-filled
- Details optional — add relevant notes
- Person responsible — optional
- Date to be resolved — optional (choose from the calendar)
- Click Save to create the activity or Cancel to discard changes.
Note: The Save button will remain disabled until all required fields are completed.
Note: When a constraint is added to a task, a yellow dot will appear on the affected tag — and on all dependent tags from the same activity. This visual cue indicates that the activity is under a constraint that will require resolution before proceeding or moving the tag to the weekly commitment plan.
Edit a constraint in the edit activity dialog
After constraints have been created, they appear in a list in the Edit activity dialog. To edit a constraint:
- Right-click the tag to open the Edit activity dialog.
- Click the constraint in the list to open the Edit constraint dialog.
- In the dialog, you can update:
- Constraint name — required
- Activity constrained — auto-filled
- Details — optional notes or context
- Person responsible — optional
- Date to be resolved — choose a deadline in the calendar
- Resolved toggle — when enabled, a new field appears for entering the Resolved date
- Click Save to confirm your changes or Cancel to discard them.
Note: When the Resolved toggle is turned on and a Resolved date is set and saved:
- The constraint will be marked as resolved in the constraint log.
- It will be removed from the list of any activities it previously affected.
- The yellow-dot indicators on those activity tags will also disappear, showing that the constraint is no longer active.
