Activity Stream
This post is also available in: Deutsch
Activity stream is a feature that can be compared to a journal. It is a list of activities with information about the time when they happened. Use it to read about all actions that take place on a space or a card.
If you need to find the specific information in the activity stream, try to set one of the three detail levels: Comments, Relevant, or Everything. Learn more about the differences between activity stream’s detail levels.
Every action in KanBo will be instantly recorded in related card and space activity streams. It will also occur in the activity stream of the user who performed it since each user has an activity stream.
Discover activity streams
Activity stream is a complex idea. It exists both on a space and a card. When you make an action in a card, it will also be shown in space and in your personal activity stream. If other users make changes to a card you follow, you will get a notification about this fact.
- card activity stream – all activity related to a specific card. Visible to all space users.
- space activity stream – all activities and changes within a specific space. Visible to all space users.
- user activity stream – all activity related to a specific user. Keep in mind that you may not have permission to see everything.
It does not mean that you can see everyone’s activity. Only actions that happened on the spaces and cards you have access to, will be visible to you.
Activity counter
The number of actions that have occurred on the card since your last visit is highlighted with a bell icon on the card front.
You can find the icon of the activity stream on the space tile too. It is located in the lower left corner.
The space activity counter is also located on the Navigation Panel. You can find it next to the space name.
Learn how to use it
The activity stream consists of a list of actions in chronological order, with responsible users and assigned dates.
- You can change the way actions are displayed by setting different detail levels.
- You can add a bookmark to important actions to save it for yourself.
- Find out when was the last visit to the card of other users with the card presence indicator.
