The activity feed lists recent changes that concern you, newest first: new and updated tasks, comments, project changes and, for finance roles, invoices, estimates and payments. Use it to catch up after a meeting or a day away, and to jump straight to the item that changed.

Open the activity feed

  1. Click the lightning-bolt icon (Activity Feed) at the top right of any page. On a phone, open the menu and tap Activity Feed.
    A red dot on the icon means there's activity you haven't seen yet.

    The top bar of Avaza, with the lightning-bolt Activity Feed icon at the far right, after the Start timer button

  2. Read the Activity panel that opens on the right. Each entry shows who did what, and how long ago. Hover over the time to see the exact date and time.

  3. Click a link in an entry to open that task, project, invoice, estimate, payment, credit note or expense, or the person's profile.

Scroll down to load older entries. New activity appears while you work, and the red dot on the icon clears when you open the panel. Close the panel with the ×.

Mark activity as read

Unread entries have a red dot beside them. Click an entry to mark it as read, or click Mark all as read at the top of the panel.

Filter the feed

  1. Click Filter in the Activity panel.

  2. In Filter Activity, choose any of:

    • Users: whose actions to show.
    • Date From/To: a date range.
    • Activity Type: for example Task Completed, New Comment on Task or Invoice Emailed. Types are grouped into Projects, Estimates, Invoices, Expenses, Received Payments and Credit Notes.
    The Filter Activity popup with empty Users and Date From/To boxes and the Activity Type list open at Projects (Project Created, Project Archived, Project Restored, User Added To Project, Task Assigned), next to the Activity panel with its Filter button and Mark all as read

  3. Click Apply Filter. The Filter button turns blue while a filter is on. Clear Filters shows everything again.

The Users list shows the people who share projects with you. Administrators, Finance Managers and anyone else who can see all projects can choose from the whole team.

Why you see some activity and not other

The feed isn't a log of everything in the account. Each person gets the activity that's relevant to their roles and projects:

  • Project and task activity goes to the members of that project who have the Project Collaborator, Portfolio Manager or Administrator role. That includes external contacts on the project, except for tasks hidden from them. Administrators only get it for projects they're members of, so their feed isn't flooded by every project.
  • Comments go to the task's followers.
  • Invoices, estimates, payments, credit notes and expenses go to Administrators and Finance Managers.

For a single task, the task's History tab shows every recorded change, whoever made it. To get an email or a phone notification as well, see notification settings.
