Activity Search

Learning Plan Task Groups can be configured with an "Add Activity" button that, when clicked, walks the user through the process of adding a new Activity Instance to the Learning Plan.

This is generally implemented in one of two ways:

• Always add a specific Activity Definition - in scenarios where there is a single, generic Activity Definition that represents the data to be collected (such as a generic "Work History" entry that collects employment data from the applicant), the Task Group can be configured so that clicking the "Add Activity" button automatically creates a new Activity Instance for that one single Activity Definition and automatically adds it to the Learning Plan. The Complete Activity workflow is automatically launched to collect the necessary information from the user. (In the case of Work History, for example, the workflow would prompt the user to provide the employer name, dates of employment, etc)
• Show a list of Activity Definitions to the user - in other scenarios, there are multiple Activity Definitions that the user must choose between. A common example is when there are multiple approved continuing education activities and the user is forced to select from that pre-defined set. In this case, the "Add Activity" button would display a list of suitable Activity Definitions for the user to choose from. Once a selection is made, a new Activity Instance is created and added to the Learning Plan.
