The Activity feed

/activity is the workspace's running log of everything that's happened — every statement uploaded, every issue opened, every compliance cert added, every tax export downloaded. It's chronological, comprehensive, and read-only at the workspace level. Today is your inbox; Activity is your audit trail.

Use Activity when you want to answer historical questions — when did that BER cert get uploaded, who marked the Burlington Road statement reviewed, what's been happening on Apartment 4 this quarter — that Today's curated view can't surface.

What gets logged

Thirteen event types across eight categories. Each row links straight to the underlying record.

  • Statements — added, marked reviewed
  • Documents — uploaded
  • Issues — opened, completed
  • Compliance — record added (with expiry date)
  • Properties — added, archived
  • Mail — email received in your inbox, plus inbound and outbound replies on any issue thread
  • Notes — added on a property
  • Tax — annual export downloaded

Most events are workspace-scoped. The "Email received" type is the exception — it's per-user via inbox RLS, so a colleague's forwarded mail won't show on your feed under that label. The issue-thread variants are workspace-scoped, so once mail is routed to an issue, the whole workspace sees it.

Filtering

Three filters across the top:

  • Category pills — All or one of Statements / Documents / Issues / Compliance / Properties / Mail / Notes / Tax. Single-select; click All to clear.
  • Range chips — Today, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, Last 90 days, All time. Default is Last 90 days.
  • Visibility settings — a control next to the pills lets you hide individual event types you don't care about (e.g. "Property archived", "Tax export downloaded"). Hidden types are skipped at the database level, not just filtered from the output. A "N event types hidden — show all" banner appears below the pills whenever anything's hidden, so you don't forget what you've muted.

Reviewing rows

Two affordances for marking the feed up as you scan it. Both are per-user:

  • Mark reviewed sits at the right end of each row. Click it to record that you've seen this event. Orla marking the Burlington Road BER upload reviewed has no effect on what a teammate sees on the same row.
  • Hide reviewed (top-right toggle) drops every row you've already marked reviewed from the feed. Combine with a category pill for "show me only unreviewed Mail."

Neither action modifies the source row. The feed only ever annotates events with your personal state — it never changes the underlying statement, document, issue, or anything else.

Archive and pagination

Events older than 90 days live in a collapsed Archive (older than 90 days) section below the recent feed. Click to expand; 50 rows load at a time. Picking the All time range chip removes the archive section entirely — the recent feed already covers everything, so there's nothing to split.

The recent feed loads 100 events at a time; a Load older button appears at the bottom of each section once you've reached the bottom of what's currently fetched. Recent and archive cursors are independent.

Activity vs. Today's Background

Today's Background section and the Activity feed look superficially similar — both are "stuff in the workspace, lower priority than what needs you" — but they answer different questions. Background is a curated snapshot of current state: in-progress issues, vacant properties, the latest statement summary. Activity is the chronological mutation log: what changed, when, and who did it. Background asks "what's open?"; Activity asks "what happened?"

Things to know

  • Workspace-scoped, with one exception. Recapping the mail caveat above: the "Email received" event is per-user; everything else, including issue-thread mail, is visible to every workspace member.
  • Personal state never touches the source. Hiding an event type, marking a row reviewed — neither action edits the underlying statement / document / issue / etc. Hide it for yourself and the row still exists for everyone else.
  • No edit, dismiss, or snooze on the feed itself. The only on-row actions are Mark reviewed and following the link to the underlying record. For action-required items, use the Today page.
