Create a UCM activity

Every change to a resource in a UCM project must be associated with an activity. You can specify an existing activity or create a new one.

Creating a new activity

To create a new activity, click New in the Select Activity section of the dialog box to open the Create a new activity dialog box. The following controls appear in the dialog box:

Control name Control description
Headline Type a headline name for the activity.
Description Type a description of the new activity. This field is optional.
OK Confirms the operation and allows it to proceed.
Cancel Cancels the operation.
Note: In a UCM project that is enabled for ClearQuest, you can create a new ClearQuest record from the ClearCase Remote Client by creating a new activity within a ClearCase view of a ClearQuest-enabled UCM project. To create a new ClearQuest record, select a ClearCase view associated with a ClearQuest-enabled UCM project and click the Create a new activity and make it the current activity icon in the UCM tool bar or, when performing a check in, check out, or add to source control operation, click the New button among the activities options on the Checkin, Checkout, or Add to Source Control dialog boxes. A dialog box appears enabling you to select a record type. After specifying and saving the new ClearQuest record as a new activity, the current activity for the view is set to the new activity.
