# Basics tab :::info This page explains the features available on the **Basics** tab of an Activity. For a step-by-step guide to setting up an Activity, see [How to Create an Activity](/doc/how-to-create-an-activity-b4LMZfTzZ5). ::: After creating a **new Activity**, you are brought to the **Basics** tab of the Activity editor. Here, you can add the **basic information** about the Activity, such as its *time range, assigned Cases*, etc. ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/48ddf0a7-308b-4fe9-b28a-e3ce1797eaa8/c522dd1e-ae1c-4dd4-84e7-02ca85ef80be/66356308.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T120000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=796ebfd4981e761e8553314c64b286b84c7c968a077c111422727929fdd61218&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject " =741x444") ### **Activity Title** First off, **name your new Activity**. The field is **required** to continue. ### **Start and End Dates** Every Activity runs for the **time range** defined by the *Start* and *End dates*. Start and End dates are **required** to start working on your new Activity. **Activity-related routines** are only available between the Activity's start and end dates, such as * *Event scheduling,* * *Live video recording of learner-SP encounters, and* * *Data entry on Cases*.  :::info When choosing a date, if the **Start Date is later than the End Date**, **the End Date is automatically adjusted** to the latest possible time to **maintain the Event's original length**. If the Event length cannot be kept in the automatic setting to **stay within the given day** (which is a mandatory criterion when setting up [Events](/doc/managing-events-aMJExQbuU0)), LearningSpace **automatically shortens the Event length to fit the day**. ::: :::tip Find further instructions in [**How to Set Up Start and End Dates**](). ::: ### **Case Assignment** Select the [**Cases**](/doc/case-manager-QdAIr4bLwJ) you want your **learners to complete** within a specific Activity.  *Alternate Cases* are **multiple Cases grouped** together. They are similar to elective subjects: **only one Case is compulsory** for learners, with a group of alternate Cases to choose from. Group two or more Cases together to create *Alternate Cases*.  :::info * If two Cases are **ungrouped**, the Learner will have to participate in simulations **for both Cases**. * If the two Cases are **grouped**, the Learner will only have to complete **one of them**. ::: :::warning ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/03fa1014-cf0e-4191-ba80-50d24eef65d4/579cb287-19bf-43c1-93fc-94dcbed6ff02/ungrouping%20warning%20popup.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T120000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=8e5bd93d0171333962b406507127444e7727303a5a1af6f6781d46089e0db6b2&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject "right-50 =499x407")**Note:** Creating a new Case Grouping or separating them **undoes** *the Learner/SP/Case assignments* in [Advanced Scheduling](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/advanced-scheduling-6uw4GlWcNY), and a reassignment will be required. A warning pop-up notifies users of the upcoming changes and visibly distinguishes grouped/ungrouped Cases. > *"Are you sure you want to group/ungroup these alternate cases? This will reset scheduling."* ::: :::tip Go to [**How to Assign Cases**](/doc/how-to-assign-cases-to-activities-wc3Eq5Zkjq) for setup details. ::: ### **The Evaluation Case** The *Evaluation Case* is a **checklist** for collecting **learner feedback** on the Activity they completed. As a **follow-up** to the Activity, the *Evaluation Case* can be sent to learners via the [**Evaluation e-mail**]() option in the [**Emails**](/doc/emails-tab-woqXxbUw5h) tab. You can assemble the Activity evaluation checklist in the [**Case content**]() editor for any Case, under the [**Case Evaluation**]() section. :::success It is best to create an evaluation Case within a Case created **exclusively** for **Activity evaluation purposes**. ::: :::tip Go to [**How to Set Up and Apply an Evaluation Case**](/doc/how-to-set-up-and-apply-an-evaluation-case-km95w1NrM3) for more. ::: ### **Manage Cabinets** At *Cabinets*, you can **move** your Activity between cabinets or **add** it to multiple cabinets. :::tip See **How to Create a New Activity Cabinet** for more details. ::: ### **Activity Type** **Select the** Activity type from the *Type* drop-down, or **create a new type**. Activity types are automatically **color-coded** by the system. The color of an Activity will mark every **related event** blocked off in the **Calendar**. :::tip Custom Activity types can only be deleted in the [**General **](/doc/general-system-information-6jNQRhhNd8)tab of the [**System Manager**](/doc/system-manager-ar9EDnlVcL) module. ::: ### **Client Resource Usage Log** Select a department or an external client to **allocate any Activity-related resource usage** back to them. :::tip Go to the [**Resource usage tab**](/doc/resource-usage-tab-5IShw5BtSo) page for more details. ::: ### **Video Start and Stop Triggers** Select **video start and stop conditions**: Choose a user action from each drop-down to **automatically control video recording** in the room where the Activity is added. :::tip User-action-controlled video recording [**works in a particular setup as explained here**](/doc/how-to-set-up-user-action-controlled-video-recording-jymJBufKpG).  ::: ### **General Note for Every Participant** You can **add notes** to the Activity in the *Notes* field. The notes will be visible to the Activity participants during data entry. :::tip For more information, visit our [Activity - How to](/doc/activity-how-to-bW0Hc4uOea) pages and view our [Activity Manager Training Videos](/doc/activity-manager-training-videos-v7AzArcYms). ::: --- **Documents** - [User Guide](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/user-guide-WPv4VxhtWB) - [FAQ](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/faq-YoxOQOjvnY) - [Training Videos](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/training-videos-D2ycsEwqPt) - [Module Introduction Videos](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/module-introduction-videos-I6OQ6H7SUT) - [Release Notes](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/release-notes-BcFFMsc0RV) - [Distance Learning with LearningSpace](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/distance-learning-with-learningspace-eAfwW23Hxg) - [Preventing Copy-Paste in LearningSpace](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/preventing-copy-paste-in-learningspace-sPD0IIUuk0) - [Important Technical Notification Regarding Adobe Flash Player](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/important-technical-notification-regarding-adobe-flash-player-eQtMLwLmTJ) - [iPad support - Technical information](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/ipad-support-technical-information-dLmeFvKofC) - [TeamViewer Link](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/teamviewer-link-QyKZBMqUT9) - [YouTube videos about LearningSpace](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/youtube-videos-about-learningspace-TMb3zdc0LC) - [Customer Aftercare One-Pager](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/customer-aftercare-one-pager-GBWMe1BcfS) - [Case Studies](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/case-studies-VcAbFqXSz7)
