Introduction

The Activity feed is the heart of Manymoon's social nature. It lets you keep track of what your coworkers are doing by providing a Facebook-like newsfeed of activities taking place within Manymoon. For example, you can see who's opening, commenting on, re-assigning, changing the due date or priority of tasks. If an Activity post refers to a data object like a task, project, event, document, etc, you can visit that data object by clicking on the link in the task item.

Home Activity Feed

If you go to your Home screen and click on the Activity Tab, you see the Home Activity Feed. This is the most comprehensive Activity feed in Manymoon. It shows everything that happens in the system that's relevant to you.

What kind of events show up in the Activity feed?
Any of the following actions will be displayed in the appropriate feed:

  • Create a task
  • Reassign a task to someone else
  • Change the priority of a task
  • Change the due date of a task
  • Complete a task
  • Create a Project
  • Join a Project
  • Connected to someone
  • More

How private is the Activity Feed?
Only people you share tasks with or other Project members can view, comment on or view your work activity. All other users do not have access to your work information. 
Manymoon adds implicit security where your data on your private tasks or projects are not shared with connections unless you choose to do so. You can now securely collaborate with multiple internal and external teams without compromising on security.

Generally, if you want to know who's viewing an Activity item, it's whoever is assigned to the task, project, document, event, etc. that the Activity item refers to.

Be aware that when you post messages or notes that don't refer to an actual data item, it's harder to tell who the item is shared with. In this case, the sharing is determined by what you chose when you shared the message: Everyone, your Team, your Organization, individuals, etc.

 

 

Project Activity Feed

If you go to a project and click on the Activity tab, you will see Activity items relevant to that project. In the figure below, only activity items relevant to the "Drill Railroad Tunnel" project are shown.

Data Object Activity Feed

Finally, tasks and events have their own Activity feeds as well. The figure below shows the feed (highlighted) for the task "Assemble Work Team"

Activities are a great tool to help debug Manymoon.
