When you need to split an activity into smaller activities, then you can use the Split Activity screen in Projectal.

1. Go to the Staff Planner screen or Resource Planner screen in Projectal and edit the activity you wish to split.
2. On the Edit Activity screen, click the Split Activity button at the bottom left side of the Edit Activity screen.
3. The Split Activity screen will be displayed and this lets you break up the activity into smaller Activity segments.

Start Date

Click on the date picker or time picker to enter the start date and time for the activity segment.

Finish Date

Click on the date picker or time picker to enter the finish date and time for the activity segment.  The estimated duration will be adjusted.

Add

Click the Add button to add another activity split.

Delete

Click the Delete button to delete the activity segment.

Tip: You can add many activity segments using the Add button.  The activity segments can have any start date and finish dates.  They may overlap with other activity segments.

Tip: After clicking OK to save the activity segments, Projectal will automatically create the new activities to match the dates and duration that you have selected.  All details for the newly created activities will have been copied from the original activity - including name, description, assigned staff, status and more.
