Why Can't I Edit an Activity?

An activity can be edited via the ellipsis next to an activity name. However, this is not always possible depending on which site you are connected to and which site the activity was originally set up.
 
Why Cant I Edit an Activity 1.pngSome activities may be labeled as Shared. This means they were originally set up at this site and made available to other sites for recording participation. 
 
When connected to the site where this activity was originally set up, the activity and its scheduled sessions will be editable by clicking the ellipsis (...) next to the activity name. The activity can also be deleted if no participation has been recorded for any of its sessions. To learn more about editing and deleting activities, please see this article. 

Alternatively, some activities may show the text "Shared by: [Site Name]" without an ellipsis present for editing. This indicates the activity was originally set up on a different site than the one you are currently connected to.

Why Can't I edit an activity 2.pngUsing the same Drop In Counseling Activity above as an example, let's switch access to Jefferson Elementary.

The Drop In Counseling Activity was set up at the Hillandale Elementary site and shared with Jefferson Elementary. 

This is done so participation can be recorded without setting up the activity at each site, saving considerable time. This shared activity will be listed in this site's Activities section but cannot be edited. To edit an activity shared by another site, you must switch access to that site. To learn more about Switching Access, please see this article.

If you do not have permission to switch access to the site where the activity was originally created and shared, contact your program's system administrator to provide you with permission or ask them to edit the activity for you.
