What is an activity?
The Activities collaboration tool supports work related to a project goal.
Members of an activity interact in an online location in which they create, collect, and share a set of ideas and resources to support a project goal.
Examples of projects that you could use an activity to track include:
- Driving a sales process to a close
- Prepare for an important meeting
- Writing a report for a client
- Hiring a new employee
You can create content directly in an activity, or download extensions from the Lotus Connections Catalog page for adding content from the tools you already use, including:
- e-mail messages
- Sametime chats
- word processing documents
Activities improve awareness and coordination in teams. When a member shares a design document, meeting agenda, or spreadsheet to an activity, not only is that item immediately available to everyone else on the team, it is also placed alongside all of the project's other resources. Team members always know that they can go to the activity to find out about the latest project happenings and see who the recent contributors are.
Community activities
Start with 2.5, you can create community activities.
The member list of a community activity is defined by the membership list of the community to which it belongs; you cannot make changes to the members list of a community activity.
The public status of a community activity is also determined by the community to which it belongs. If the community is public or moderated, all of its associated activities are public. If the community is private, all of its associated activities are private.
