Connect Document Package to Activity

Explanation

Use this activity to connect a document package to a project activity in IFS/Project. Document packages contain a group of documents, and you can monitor the weighted average progress of the documents within the document package. The document package's progress will be reported to the connected project activity when the activity is refreshed.

You can also enter planned cost and hours, that will be used for developing the document, for each of the documents in the package. These will be reported to the project activity with the relevant project cost element that has been previously defined.

A document package can be connected to single activity only.
