}

Field Details

Id

Type: String! (Non-null String)
Description: System-generated unique identifier for the activity
Example: "5f8d0d5a7b3e4f1234567897"
Usage: Used for internal references, updates, and relationships

Relationships

The Activity type is created through the CreateActivityForUserWithNumbers mutation and is associated with:

User: The user who performed the activity (specified by email in the input)
Matter: The matter being worked on (specified by MatterNumber in the input)
MatterPhase: The specific phase of the matter (specified by MatterPhaseNumber in the input)
ActivityType: The type of activity (specified by ActivityTypeNumber in the input)
Unit: The business unit or department (specified by UnitNumber in the input)

Best Practices

Activity Tracking: Use activities to track time spent on various tasks
Detailed Descriptions: Provide detailed descriptions for better time tracking and reporting
Accurate Time Entry: Ensure billable and non-billable quantities are accurate
Proper Association: Always associate activities with the correct matter, phase, and activity type

Common Use Cases

Time Tracking: Record time spent on various tasks
Billing: Generate invoices based on billable time entries
Reporting: Create reports showing time spent by user, matter, phase, or activity type
Productivity Analysis: Analyze productivity and resource allocation
Project Management: Track progress and time spent on projects

Integration with CreateActivity Mutation

The Activity type is the return value of the CreateActivityForUserWithNumbers mutation. This mutation requires detailed input parameters to create a complete activity record.

Input Parameters for Creating Activities

When creating an activity, you need to provide:

UserEmail: Email of the user performing the activity
ApplicableDate: Date when the activity occurred
MatterNumber: Reference number of the matter
MatterPhaseNumber: Reference number of the matter phase
ActivityTypeNumber: Reference number of the activity type
UnitNumber: Reference number of the unit/department
Description: Detailed description of the activity
BillableQuantity: Number of billable hours
NonBillableQuantity: Number of non-billable hours

Best Practices for Time Entry

Be Specific: Provide detailed descriptions of what was accomplished
Accurate Time: Record actual time spent, not estimated time
Categorize Properly: Use the correct activity type for each entry
Associate Correctly: Link activities to the correct matter and phase
Regular Entry: Record time entries regularly to maintain accuracy
Review: Review time entries periodically for completeness and accuracy

Activity Types

Common activity types that might be used:

ACT-001: Legal Research
ACT-002: Client Meeting
ACT-003: Document Preparation
ACT-004: Court Appearance
ACT-005: Administrative Tasks
ACT-006: Travel Time
ACT-007: Training/Development
