Various options of creating activities are grouped here in Radio-group (to avoid simultaneous use).

• Use Apply button to create/modify activities for modified shifts (commonly used).

The Apply button performs not only Rotation shift changes but activity modifications as well (creating activities, snapping to ports, adding to crew changes).

• Use Activate button to create/modify activities for modified shifts

All modifications of a Rotation shift will only concern the changes of Shift entity. Corresponding activities will not be affected. To process the shift for corresponding activity modification - Activate button use is required.

• Create activities when Signing On/Off

Activities are created based on confirmation of On/Off signing of a crew.

Confirmation of On/Off-signing is performed using standard functionality of Rotation module from shift's right-click menu or by corresponding menu buttons. No Planned activities exist in this case.
When Signing On - the current sea-service activity is created.
If any previous current activity exists - it is set Historical with DateTo=DateFrom(Sea-service) - 1 day

When Signing Off - system prompts a user on which type of non-seaservice activity should be created.
It offers Leave by default, but any non-seaservice type can be selected.

This activity is added as Current with DateFrom=Sign Off date + 1 day
The sea-service activity is set Historical with DateTo=Sign Off date

If Sign On/Off dates don't correspond to shift dates - the shift dates are updated accordingly.
Note that Sign On / Off functionality is available for multiple tagged shifts.

• Create activities using Signing On/Off Wizard.

The option is used by customers who use corresponding Wizard for activity generation, confirming Sign On / Sign Off status.

For detailed description - please see Functionality > Maintaining a Rotation Plan > Creating Activities > Wizard section.

• Don't maintain activities when activating plan – (rarely used)

Activities are not created/maintained from Rotation Planning module. Besides, Shift Activities and Travel sub-tabs in the maintenance view are disabled.
