To add activities to your development stream from HCL VersionVault

About this task

Tip: Your organization may have policies regarding the scope of an activity. For example, your organization may specify that all activities must refer to a change request in your change request management system. After you add an activity, it remains in your stream permanently.

On the UNIX system or Linux, enter the following command from your development view:
```
cleartool mkactivity [ -nset ] [ -headline description] [activity_selector] 
```
Use the mkactivity options as follows:

-nset

Prevents setting your view to the activity.

-headline

Optionally provides a description of the activity. Creates a headline that describes the scope and purpose of the activity. If the headline contains space characters, enclose it in double quotes.

activity-selector

Optionally provides an alphanumeric string to use when issuing cleartool commands. The specifier must be unique within the project VOB. If you do not provide an activity selector, mkactivity prompts for confirmation of a generated name for the activity.
On Windows systems, add activities from file operations windows in a project:
1. In a Check Out, Check In, or Add to Source Control window (which open as part of the corresponding operation), click New.
2. In the New Activity window, enter the headline for an activity.
3. Click OK.
4. To add this activity to your stream (and set it in your view), click OK.
