Activity Feed / Logs
The main purpose of Activity Feed is to log, collect and report all sorts of different data regarding resourcing, comments and changes of a project. Activity Feed is located in two places:
- PEOPLE > BASIC
- PROJECTS > BASIC
Activity feed is color-coded to make it easier to quickly glance what kind of log entry you are viewing. Activity Feed can be filtered based on this information by using the sliders or by giving a time range - or both.
Yellow = Risks
Grey = Journal entries
Green = Resourcing
Blue = Project
Pink = Project roles
Purple = Tasks
The newest log entry is always on top.
Risks
Silverbucket has a simple Risks tool built-in for projects. The Activity Log tracks all of these entries in yellow color and creates rows with all the information that was added, edited or deleted regarding risks.
A risk was deleted, a Budget risk with description was added, a Schedule risk was added and after that the Schedule risk's impact was re-evaluated
Journal entries
Journal is a new feature which will be usable as the UI rework of Silverbucket progresses.
Resourcing
Resourcing data will probably be the most logged thing in the Activity Log. It is color-coded with green color and tracks all the movements regarding resourcing. It shows the target project role, adjustment to resourcing, which mode and type was used when resourced etc.
It is important to pay attention to the time mode and resourcing mode used, see examples below:
Matthew resourced himself for 100% for May and June in monthly mode, then fixed his June's allocations from 100% to 50%
Matthew also resourced Mark Evans for 32 hours for June. After that, Matthew resourced Mark for 110% for the week that starts 7th of August.
Project
The blue section shows log entries regarding the Project's information, such as Basic Information . If any of this is edited, the log will write a row for it.
Budget added and afterwards fixed. Program and description added.
When you hover over the description "..." you can see the value inserted in full.
Project Roles
Project role data is color-coded with pink color. It shows data regarding project roles, whether it is adding a project role, editing a project role or removing an existing project role.
Here Matthew has first removed a role and then added another person to the project, Nora. Nora's role was adjusted from Documentation Specialist to Subcontractor afterwards.
Tasks
Tasks come with a purple color. Once again, changes made to Project's Tasks will be shown here in the Activity feed.
Two tasks were created. Afterwards, one task's name was edited and the activity status of the task "Non-Billable" was adjusted from Yes to No
