Seeing how much time is spent on each one is key, but even the simplest project is made up of many parts.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Activity types allow you to get more specific in your scheduling. You can use them to categorize and track different types of project work \u2013 for example, <em>Research<\/em>, <em>Planning<\/em>, <em>Design<\/em>, <em>Meetings<\/em>, or <em>Presentations<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Now whenever you assign someone work, you can specify not just the project and client they\u2019re working on, but the type of work that\u2019s required.<\/p>\n<p>This brings extra clarity not just to those being booked, but to anyone planning projects, who can map out how long each part of a project should take.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dial-up-the-detail-on-time-tracking\"><\/span>Dial up the detail on time tracking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7111 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-timesheet-review.png\" alt=\"Analyze what types of work have been logged in every timesheet\" width=\"1912\" height=\"1219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-timesheet-review.png 1912w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-timesheet-review-943x601.png.webp 943w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-timesheet-review-1042x664.png.webp 1042w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-timesheet-review-1536x979.png.webp 1536w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-timesheet-review-310x198.png.webp 310w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-timesheet-review-943x601@2x.png.webp 1886w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-timesheet-review-310x198@2x.png.webp 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1912px) 100vw, 1912px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Activity types introduce an extra layer of information that can be leveraged even more effectively once work has been completed.<\/p>\n<p>With activity types in place, and your team completing <a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/features\/timesheets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">timesheets<\/a>, you\u2019ll be able to dial up the detail when comparing scheduled time vs actuals. Instead of just seeing total time spent per project, you\u2019ll be able to analyze how many hours were spent on each activity type.<\/p>\n<p>For example, it\u2019s useful to know that your TikTok influencer campaign took up 60 hours of your team\u2019s time last week. But even more useful is if you can see that 15 hours were spent on Research, 24 on Outreach, 10 on Meetings, and 11 on Admin.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s far more Admin and Meeting time than you expected, you might need to check in with the project team and see what\u2019s slowing them down.<\/p>\n<p>With activity types providing more granular detail on every project, you can gain a greater understanding of how your projects are progressing and where your team is spending its time. That in turn will allow you to make informed adjustments to your forecasting and budgeting and edge you towards even higher levels of productivity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating-and-managing-activity-types\"><\/span>Creating and managing activity types<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7109 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-manage.png\" alt=\"Creating and assigning activity types in Projects &amp; Clients\" width=\"1912\" height=\"1410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-manage.png 1912w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-manage-910x671.png.webp 910w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-manage-964x711.png.webp 964w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-manage-1536x1133.png.webp 1536w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-manage-310x229.png.webp 310w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-manage-910x671@2x.png.webp 1820w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-manage-310x229@2x.png.webp 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1912px) 100vw, 1912px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Activity types can be created from anywhere in Resource Guru where you can edit projects. However, their home is in Projects &amp; Clients, where you can get an overview of all existing activity types and the projects they\u2019ve been assigned to.<\/p>\n<p>Activity types can be project-specific or shared across multiple projects. Either way, you can choose which ones are added to each project, so you have control over what your team logs time against.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also an option to set activity types as defaults for new projects. This is recommended for any project phases or types of work that are standardized across all your projects.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you\u2019re an SEO agency, you might always want an activity type for <em>Keyword Research<\/em>. Instead of manually adding that to every project you create, you can set it as a default. For any projects that don\u2019t fit your usual process, you can remove default activity types just as easily.<\/p>\n<p>Another time-saving trick can be found when assigning activity types to existing projects. \u201cSelect All\u201d lets you add a new activity type to all projects at once, making activity types easy to apply retroactively in even the busiest accounts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assigning-activity-types\"><\/span>Assigning activity types<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7110 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/activity-types-timesheet-edit.gif\" alt=\"Adding an activity type to a timesheet entry\" width=\"960\" height=\"764\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to adding activity types to the work you\u2019re scheduling, it couldn\u2019t be easier.<\/p>\n<p>Open up any booking in the Schedule, assign it to a project, and you\u2019ll find a new activity type field that\u2019s ready to be populated. The activity types you assign show up in booking containers in the Schedule and Dashboard, so anyone can quickly see what the focus of each booking is.<\/p>\n<p>In Timesheets, activity types are automatically populated from bookings in the Schedule. If you need to add or change activity types, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/help.resourceguruapp.com\/en\/articles\/1954114\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">edit any timesheet entry manually<\/a>. We\u2019ve also added a new column to the Bulk Log interface so you can add and edit activity types from there too.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Availability-and-whats-next\"><\/span>Availability and what\u2019s next<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Activity types are available to all Resource Guru customers, whatever plan you&#8217;re on.
