Activity pattern objects

The following list describes the properties on the ActivityPattern object.

Property	User interface field	Description
`ActivityClass`	Activity Class	Indicates whether the activity is a task or an event. A task has a due date. An event does not.
`AutomatedOnly`	Automated only	A Boolean value that defines whether only automated additions (by business rules) to the workplan use the activity pattern. If `true`, the activity pattern does not appear as a choice in PolicyCenter interface. If you do not specify this value, the default is `false`. Guidewire recommends that you set this flag set to `true` for all patterns with a non-general type. This ensures that they are not visible in the PolicyCenter interface.
`Category`	Category	The category for grouping `ActivityPatterns` in the PolicyCenter interface.
`Code`	Code	Any unique text with no spaces. Maximum length is 60 characters. This property is required. The `Code` property is used to identify the activity pattern when accessing the pattern in rules or Gosu code. You can see this value only through the Administration tab.
`Command`	Not Applicable	Do not use. For Guidewire use only.
`Data-Set`	Not Applicable	The value of the highest-numbered data set of which the imported object is a part. PolicyCenter typically orders a data set by inclusion. Thus, data set 0 is a subset of data-set 1, and data set 1 is a subset of data set 2, and so forth.
`Description`	Description	Describes the expected outcome at the completion of this activity. It is visible only if you view the details of the activity.
`DocumentTemplate`	Document Template	Document template to display if you choose this activity. Enter the document template ID.
`EmailTemplate`	Email Template	Email template to display if you choose this activity. Enter the email template file name.
`EntityId`	Not Applicable	Required. The unique public ID of the activity pattern.
`EscalationDays`	Escalation days	The number of days from the `escalationstartpt` to set the Escalation Date for an activity.
`EscalationHours`	Escalation hours	The number of hours from the `escalationstartpt` to set the Escalation Date for an activity.
`EscalationInclDays`	Escalation Include Days	Specifies which days to include. You can set this `businessdays` or `elapsed`.
`EscalationStartPt`	Escalation start point	The initial date used to calculate the target date. If you specify `escalationdays` or `escalationhours`, you need to specify this parameter. Otherwise, this parameter is optional.
`Mandatory`	Mandatory	A `Boolean` value that defines whether you can skip an activity. Non-mandatory activities act as suggestions about what might be a useful task without forcing you into doing unnecessary work. This value is optional. If you do not specify a value, the application uses a default of `true`.
`PatternLevel`	Pattern Level	The level that this pattern is for. Valid choices are: Account All Job
`Priority`	Priority	Used to sort more important activities to the top of a list of work. This property is required. You can set this property to the following values: `urgent` `high` `normal` `low`.
`Recurring`	Recurring	A Boolean value indicating that an activity is likely to recur on a regular schedule. If you do not specify a value, the application uses a default of `true`.
`ShortSubject`	Short Subject	A brief description of the activity used on small areas of the PolicyCenter interface such as a calendar event entry. Maximum length of 10 characters.
`Subject`	Subject	A short text description of the activity that PolicyCenter shows in activity lists. This property is required.
`TargetDays`	Target days	The number of days from the `targetstartpoint` to set the activity’s Target Date.
`TargetHours`	Target hours	The number of hours from the `targetstartpoint` to set the activity’s Target Date.
`TargetIncludeDays`	Target Include Days	This field answers the “what days to count” part of calculating the target date. Your options are the following: `elapsed`—the count all days `businessdays`—as defined by the business calendar
`TargetStartPoint`	Target start point	The initial date used to calculate the target date. You need specify this value only if you specify `targetdays` or `targethours`. Otherwise, this value is optional.
`Type`	Type	This specifies what activity type to create. Note It is only possible to create a custom activity pattern of type General or Assignment Review. Guidewire reserves all other activity pattern types for internal use. See Pattern types and categories for more information.
