Step 1. Name your Activity

Each Activity should have a unique name in the Activity Name field. This is the field that you will refer to as you are adding your metrics, linking Activities to Pacts, and tracking implementation progress.

Suggested Naming Conventions

The Activity Names are a convenience for you and your data management team.

In the past, we saw a lot of users rely on the Project-Site-Practice scaffolding to navigate and manage their records. The result could be one project having 20 records named Tree Planting.

The Tables Feature that is enabled throughout FieldDoc makes record management a breeze if you remember to give your Activities unique names. If you have 20 records named "Tree Planting", you'll struggle to figure out which Activity you are updating. We encourage you to give each record an individual name, such as Corellia Tree Planting and Felucia Tree Planting to signify the installation location.

NOTE: FieldDoc will generate a unique FieldDoc Key ID for each Activity Record.

Step 2. Find your Activity Type

Search through the list of supported Activities to select one to associate with your Activity. Activities are a standard list offered to all users across the entirety of FieldDoc. The list has been generated with input from leading modelers, federal agencies, and funders.

Step 5. Associate Metrics

Associate metrics.

Step 6. Turn on Models
