General

In this view, you can enter in a unique name for your activity record. We recommend making sure that you're name is unique so that you don't end up with multiple records with the same name.

FieldDoc Field Name	Import Field Name	Description	Tips
Name	practice:name	This name appears throughout the system and is visible to anyone who can see the record.	Make your name unique! If your organization has a unique identifier, you can use that; otherwise, make sure you avoid having seven records named "Forest Buffer - Narrow"
Description	practice:description	The description is a text field that allows you to add a narrative about your activity.	Your description field may be useful for collaboration and for any program managers that you share the record with. Think, what would our future selves want to remember about this record?
