# ◾ Activity Type Setting

**Activity:** a group of events that can be analyzed as a whole within the Reports module; that is, certain scores, results, and evaluations can be generated for a wider, more comprehensive scope of data.


:::warning
***IMPORTANT:*** Events can be assigned to an activity in the **Edit Event** pop-up in the [**Calendar**](/doc/calendar-module-B2dKYBWpoZ) module.

:::

Activities such as 'debrief,' 'exam,' and 'lab’’ can be classified. In addition to the system-defined activities, new ones can also be added. The Activity **type can be determined** for a specific activity when creating it.


:::info
***NOTE:*** For more information about **adding** an activity, see [**How can a new activity be created?**](/doc/how-can-a-new-activity-be-created-fSN6qd4EhN)

:::

**A new (customized) Activity type** can only be created in the System module via the Activity Type button under the Activity Type setting.

Clicking the Activity Types button opens the Activity Type Setting pop-up window. Within the pop-up, the color-coded activity types are listed, and the search bar at the bottom of the list allows you to filter the results. 


:::tip
**The Add button can add new Activity types via the same search bar**.

***NOTE:*** System-defined activity types (with a *closed lock* next to them) cannot be deleted.    
**User-defined Activity types can be deleted** by dragging them onto the **Trash** can icon in the lower right corner of the pop-up.
