An **Activity** is something that requires an action or is a previously performed action. **Activities** are created when an action is performed that requires a scaffold to be erected, dismantled, modified or repaired. An Activity's details can be changed, but you cannot change the status of the Request or Scaffold from this screen. This will have to be done from the Request or Scaffold itself. > [!WARNING] > **Note: You cannot manually create Activities. These are created automatically.** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/image-O099Y6XI.png) The colour of the activity indicates its **status**. If the colour of the activity is blue, then the **Activity** needs to be actioned. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/42a0935e-ef85-4356-8600-4bb02e29d3cf.png) If it is grey, then the **Activity** is in process and needs to be changed when work on the scaffold (a build for instance) has been completed. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/f795486a-cd79-474b-95ec-3d25dfb47675.png) If it is white, then the **Activity** has been completed. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/8d1f0c7f-10f7-4bdd-a73f-53957b9b5842.png) > **Note: For more information on status types, visit the** [**Working with Statues**](https://avontus.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADH/pages/2241103768/Working+with+Different+Status+Types) **guide** An **Activity** that requires action could be a scaffold that is in the **Awaiting** **Build** status.
