everything revolves around the actviity ID becasue everthing else is associated with it. It is a unique identifer and can not be duplicated.
It is important to keep the activity id the same so that when you want to compare schedules you have a common demoniatior which is the activity ID.
some people like to build intellegence into their activity ids
for example does B3A26100 mena anything to you ? Here is what it could mean
Building B
Level 3
AREA A
Electrical work (26 is the master specification of electrical work)
so just by looking at the activity ID I know what building i am working in
what level that I am working on
what area that I am workin in
and I know who is doing the work.
you can also use this to filter and group and your activities
lets say I wanted to see all of the electrical work then my filter would be
where activity id contains 26
