Activities are normally created from the SR and Incidentin a similar fashion as you would work a child work order.  These are work orders and are accessible from work order tracking, and activities and tasks.  They are created through a Ticket Template application where you added activities.  However, you cannot see the tasks to manage from the SR unless you further enhance the application.

The tasks side, that's much easier as they are the tasks from a work order.

I ask because I'm trying to make sense of what I'll call the "WO Hierarchy" in Maximo.

And I realized that activities are a big question mark for me (and the documentation seems to be a bit vague/light).

Maximo Activities are tasks / sub-work orders and are usually created when a Job Plan with steps / tasks are tied to either a PM or a WO.
Tasks / Activities can be created on existing unapproved work orders on the Plans tab.​With the newer versions of Maximo, because Tasks/Activities actually create records in the Work Order table, we try to limit the number of tasks on Job Plans to keep our work order table more manageable.  We try to limit tasks to steps that require an observation or response, and utilize the Job Plan long description to capture other required information needed to accomplish the work.  We have also added a separate checklist field on Job Plans and Work Orders to publish checklists instead of using numerous activities / tasks.
