Activity codes in P6 for a shopping mall

Hi,

I have recently moved to P6 from MSP and therefore havea only a basic knowledge of P6.

I am preparing a schedule for a massive shopping mall (2basements + 4 shopping floors +2 parking floors) and i wanted to know what level of activity codes need to be defined.

If anyone has worked on a similar project and have a list of defined codes, please share them so that i can get an idea before I start working on my own coding structure

 

Thanks
