Activity Stream

 The "Activity Stream" provides up-to-the-minute streaming updates and keeps all your conversations around work items, projects and files in one place. You can directly add your comments to work items or discussions you are following and have viewing rights.

 

The default Activity stream will show you entries for updates to tasks, files, discussions and app items that you are following. You can always edit this report and change filters as necessary.

Activity stream will be sorted by date such that the latest block will be shown first in the report. The report is limited to show activities in last 5 days (per entity) and will show a maximum of 25 cells.

By default, the activity stream does not display project related information (such as creations and attribute modifications). It only displays day-to-day work items, a discussion, and files. To also view this project related information in the Activity Stream, you will have to make the following changes to the report definition:

Action: Created, Modified, Updated

Following: Any (Since you cannot "follow" a project)

 

Activity Stream is provided out-of-the-box for new sign-ups after 17th October 2015. You can always create your own Activity Stream from View -> All Reports -> New Report -> Activity Log. For more details on creating reports click here.
