Work with activities

We can edit an activity and its entries or organize its content by creating sections. Prioritizing activities makes it easier to find the activities that are important to you. Tuning out of activities prevents the activity from displaying in the view. When an activity goal is reached, we can complete that activity.

After the activity goal is reached, click Mark Activity Complete from the title bar. This action does not delete the activity; the completed activity continues to be available from the Completed view. After you mark an activity complete, members no longer see it listed among their activities. We can restore a completed activity from the Completed view by clicking Restore Activity from within the completed activity.

By default, activities that are not active after 90 days are marked complete automatically. A notification is sent to the activity owners before this event occurs to tell them the activity will be marked complete if they do not use it. The inactivity period of 90 days is a value the administrator can change.

We can delete an activity to move it to the Trash view. Delete an activity only if you do not want to retain any of the information in the activity. We can restore activities from the Trash view, but only until the trash is emptied. Your administrator determines the frequency with which the trash is emptied.

Activities created with the Activities application, and shared with a Community are not deleted when a Community is deleted. The Activity is retained outside the Community and only the share with the Community is deleted. However, Activities that you create within a Community with the Activity widget is tied uniquely to the community and its members. When the community is deleted the associated Activity is also deleted.

• Edit an activity
  To edit an activity, we must be an owner of the activity. Editing the title, description, due date, or tags associated with an activity does not affect the content of the entries posted to the activity.

• Organize activity content
  When you have added content to the activity, organize it so that it is easier to find.

• Prioritizing activities
  All activities are given a Normal priority level. We can change the priority level of an activity to make it easier to find.

• Tune out an activity that does not interest you
  We can tune out of an activity that we are not interested in to remove it from the My Activities view. If the activity becomes more useful then we can tune back into it.

• Subscribing to an activity feed
  Subscribe to feeds to receive updates about application, and user data to monitor. Your feed reader automatically delivers details about changes and saves you the task of checking each application for updates.

• Following activities
  Members are not automatically sent notifications of activity updates. To receive activity notifications, we must follow that activity. Anyone can follow a public activity. To follow a restricted activity, we must be a member of the activity.

• Copy an activity
  Do we see an activity that someone created that you would like to reuse? If the owners of the activity did not create a template for it to enable others to reuse it, we can make a copy of it. We can also copy one of our own activities to reuse it, but do not plan to reuse it enough times to warrant the creation of a template.

• Export activities
  Export data from an activity to create various types of spreadsheet based reports.
