Add default Activity value per user
0%
Description
Each users should have it's own "default activity". For example I will have "Project management" set as default and our coder will have "Coder" set as default activity.
Questions is if this value will be set by user for himself, by admin for others, or how ;) Maybe both methods can be implemented and added some new rights (user can change his default activity, user can change default activity for other users).
I have also idea about restricting activities to roles, which can add more idiot-proofness and it also simplify adding time by users, because they will select from less activities than now.
What others think about this?

+1. Most of my time is "development", but it defaults to "administrative", presumably because it comes first alphabetically.

+1 I like allowing the user to set their default activity. So on My Page, I can make "Development" my default avtivity.
I don't agree with restricting activities to roles. Then you will end up with a matrix of who can do what, which would make setup harder.

Different users need different defaults for their activity page. Eventually, project defaults are useful too.

Guess that default activity should be set per role.

Well this could be tricky. For example, you assign "development" as default activity and the user is on Project A which is holds the activity "development", everything is okay. But how do you want to handle this on Project B which doesn't hold this activity?
Another suggestion could be to assign the role to a project and assign a default activity for this role in this project?

+1 to restricting activities to roles. Why managers should see "Fixing" ? Why developers should see "Accounting"? etc. When there are a lot of roles the activities list becomes long and confusing.
