View source for Working with Level 2 – Activities

You can sometimes build a useful [[Universal Tracking Application]] that only uses one Level. 

If you need to track “transactions” of some kind associated with the Level 1 item you will need to create a two level [[UTA]].

* When you examine the [[Built-in Field|built-in fields]] for the Level 2 (and Level 3) [[Entity|entities]] you will see they closely resemble activity type transactions with fields such as start date, end date, start time, end time, etc.  And generally a lot of the Level 2 transaction types do have these types of activity based characteristics.
* Sometimes the Level 2 transaction will not require any activity type fields. In that situation simply don’t use any of the Standard Fields for the Level 2 activities and use [[Custom Field|custom fields]] for the rest of the [[Entity|entity]].

==Steps to Activate Level 2 items==

The steps to activate the [[Level 2 Entity]] are similar to the [[Level 1 Entity]].
* Choose the standard fields using the [[UTA Settings - Entity]] page.
* Create the [[Custom Field|custom fields]] for Level 2 using either the [[UTA Settings - Entity]] page OR the [[UTA Settings - Settings|main UTA settings]] page.
* Define [[Level 2 Types]] using the [[UTA Settings - Settings|main UTA settings]] page.  (The term ''Type'' at Level 2 and Level 3 is the equivalent of ''Template'' at Level 1)
* Define the Level 2 [[Statuses]] using the [[UTA Settings - Settings|main UTA settings]] page.
* Define the [[List View]] for Level 2 items using the [[UTA Settings - Settings|main UTA settings]] page.
