# Manage business process activities

Business process activities represent discrete units of work performed by business actors. Use the Portfolio List view to create, edit, and assign business actors to activities.

From the Portfolio List view, you can perform the following tasks

-   Create or edit a business process activity
-   Assign business actors to activities
-   Create business actors directly from an activity record
-   Remove business actors from activities
