Overview

Within a Sales Opportunity record there is a dedicated Activities tab. Here, activities are most commonly added in the following ways:

  • If the case type has a Timeline:

    • All activities are added to the record as soon as the case record is opened

  • If the case type has a Sequence:

    • The initial activity in the sequence is added, and the subsequent activities thereafter, in accordance with the original set-up of the sequence

  • Manually

    • Activities are added by those with relevant access to the record, as and when required

Filtering Options

Below is an example of a populated activity feed:

Each activity can be selected to open up further details.

You can filter and manage activities in a number of ways:

  • Settings Cog: Option to display overdue activities first (default)

  • Checkbox icon: Enables activities multi-select

  • Actions dropdown menu: Once the checkbox above is enabled, and at least one activity is selected, the following options appear:

  • Timeline dropdown: Filter between Timelines associated with the record (therefore only useful if your case type uses more than one timeline)

  • My Activities / Delegated / All: Further filtering options

  • All Activity Categories dropdown: Filter by the type of activity e.g. task, milestone

  • Paperclip icon: Toggle between activities with / without attachments

  • Star icon: Toggle between starred / not starred activities

  • Filter Activities: Opens up 6 further filtering options

  • Linear timeline: Filter by year and month to the right of the screen

Adding a New Activity

Whilst accessing any tab within an individual record (including the Activity Feed), a new activity can be added towards the top-right of the screen:

Options displayed here will depend upon the Activity Types enabled on the case type itself.
