  • Activity Start Date: The date from which the project activity should be tracked. This is a mandatory input.

  • Users can only specify one project in the project activity advanced gadget. However, if you want to view the project activity advanced report across projects, the project activity advanced gadget can be added multiple times.

  • Users also have the option to fill in the below details:

    • Activity End Date: The project activity will be tracked till the end of this date.

    • Activity Time Period: This is the time period grouping that should be used to group the project activity. Time period options are None, Day, Week, Month, Quarter and Year.
