Dev - should Phone Call/Email/Meeting/Travel etc. be workEffortType or workEffortPurposeType?

[Si Chen-2]

Hi.

I saw there was a "Meeting" for WorkEffortPurpose but was not sure
whether other types of work effort such as Phone Call, Email, Travel,
etc. should be a workEffortType or workEffortPurposeType?  I'm leaning
towards workEffortType but that may make things a lot more complicated
for things like the "My Tasks" screen in WorkEffort.  But is using
WorkEffortPurposeType the wrong thing to do?

Or, should we have a sub-type field as well that is optional, so a work
effort can be a Task with subType Phone Call/Email/Travel?

Thanks,

Si

I think this is actually a good description of the different between  
a WorkEffortType and a WorkEffortPurposeType. These various things  
like Phone Call, Email, Travel, etc would be good purposes....
