# Processing Activities

Processing activities refer to operations and actions performed on data that can be directly or indirectly related to an individual. These activities involve collecting, storing, retrieving, using, disclosing, altering, or deleting PII within an organisation.

### View Processing Activities

The RoPA landing page has a "Processing Activity" tab that lists all the processing activities being done or completed before. In this view, users get a detailed table with necessary information like ID, activity name, description, purpose, processor, controller, source, terms, group, domain, category, subcategory, sensitive information terms, status of processing activity, risk level, and more. This organized layout gives a complete overview of the tasks and helps organizations understand how data is managed. It allows for effective monitoring and ensures compliance.

### Configure Views

The Configure View feature allows all Meta-Read or Meta-Write access to customize the List View Columns according to their preferences, allowing for a personalised display of processing activities and Reports. Select the default System View format on the GDPR RoPA Page (displaying a set of predefined attributes), explore public views if available, or create a customised view that aligns with specific requirements. We can create as many configured views as per the requirement.
