The Activity Monitor allows you to filter activities by using the following options.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Previous | All activities in a Complete status. |
| Current | All activities in a Draft, Registration Open, Registration Closed, or Active status. |
| Upcoming | All activities in Ready status. |
| Proposed | All activities in Pending, In Review, and Returned status. Only users who are given the Activity Approval tool right see this option. |

|
| Prior Year Only | When this checkbox is marked, only activities from the prior calendar year display. This checkbox only displays on the Previous tab. |
Delete or Cancel an Activity
There are two options for removing an activity from the Activity Monitor:
- Delete completely removes the activity from the Activity Monitor. You cannot delete an activity if students have already registered. Registered students can be removed from an activity; however, this should only be done after refunds are processed.
- Cancel assigns the Cancelled status and automatically moves the activity to the Previous view on the Activity Monitor. After cancelling an activity, you can see who cancelled the activity, the date on which it was cancelled, and the cancellation reason by clicking the Edit button. Cancelled activities can be deleted if the activity does not have any registered students.
You cannot remove an activity if it is in a Complete, Active, or Preapproval Pending - Proposal status.
To Delete or Cancel an Activity, you must have Delete tool rights for the Activity Monitor and Calendar rights for the school associated with the activity.

To save time, click the Copy button to copy an existing activity. After you click Copy, Campus displays the Activity Builder tool in copy mode. See the Activity Builder article for details about each step in the Activity Builder tool.
When you copy an activity, Campus creates a new activity by duplicating most of the information from the existing activity.
- Registration and Activity dates are not copied.
- Campus verifies Activity Owners, Ad Hoc filters and Custom Forms are still active and requires you to update that information if necessary.
- You cannot copy an activity if its Status is Draft, Cancelled, or in any state of Preapproval.
- You must have Add rights for the Activity Monitor to copy an activity.
- You can NOT finish copying an activity if your activity requires preapproval. See the Submit an Activity Request for Preapproval topic in the Activity Builder article for more information.
- Activities that are associated with more than one school and more than one Preapproval Configuration cannot be copied. Instead, create separate activity records for the applicable schools.
