# How activities work

The Activities section lets stable owners and staff plan, organise and complete everything that happens to horses – training, vet visits, care, breeding checks and facility reservations. All pages show the same activities, so an activity created in one view appears everywhere.

## How it works together
1. Configure activity types, day‑part divisions, breeding parameters and calendar feeds in [Settings](/documentation/activities-settings/).
2. View the calendar and create or move activities for any date in [Planning](/documentation/planning/).
3. For the current day, fine‑tune assignments with drag‑and‑drop in [Day](/documentation/action-list-day/); assign horses to staff or adjust times.
4. Review the full list of today’s activities, filter or group them, and mark them done in [List](/documentation/action-list/).
5. Check each horse’s recent and upcoming care tasks and plan new ones in [Care](/documentation/care-planning/); the new care activity becomes a regular activity.
6. If you run a breeding program, manage daily mare‑cycle checks in [Mare cycle checks](/documentation/mare-cycle-check-day/); these checks also appear as activities.
7. Look back at past or upcoming activities for a horse or the whole stable in [Activity history](/documentation/activity-history/); you can also add missing activities here.

## Good to know
- All pages reflect the same set of activities; changes made in one view instantly appear in the others.
- If an activity type has a price defined in the financial settings, it becomes a billable item automatically when you mark the activity done.
- The **Hide empty groups** option only removes groups without activities, and the Stable filter is shown only when you have more than one stable.
- Drag‑and‑drop planning works only after you have selected an activity type in the sidebar; otherwise the app shows a warning.
