Zeb:

Please redo this feature. It is so poorly executed that it is painful to look at it.

Quite unbelievable that you released it in this state.

A huge number of us is passionate about CU, and half baked features like this one do not help us in spreading the ClickUp word..

Thanks

Zeb: Wanted to love this, but I think it needs some work:

Zeb: This is amazing and going to be super useful! I'm not understanding what the others are saying are major problems. I do see avatars and dates on my side. I also saw default Filter templates can be set in Clickup settings. Perhaps those things have already been fixed since those complaints or I'm seeing a different version?

Please add the capability to mark messages with a thumbs up as can be done when viewing comments inside tasks. I just asked my team earlier to start marking messages with a thumbs up every time they read a comment so we know who has seen the comment. Unfortunately if we want to do that we can't do so with Activities view.

Zeb: Also please include an option to make this a required view in Space settings. I want to include these activity views by default on every folder and list!

Zeb: This is a great start and provides the information I was looking for in an activity stream. I do appreciate that you're releasing functionality as you have it, even if it's not 100% polished, as it's a great way for us to play with the features and provide feedback.

Echoing some of the other comments, I think the UI could be optimized. It's currently difficult to see exactly which task was updated since that information is shown in tiny text above each of the updates. It takes a while to train my eyes to find the task name. We transitioned to Clickup from Wrike, and I found Wrike's presentation of the activity stream quite easy to read. All tasks or folders/projects that were updated are represented as a "card" where the task/folder/project name is shown as a header, and all the updates grouped below them within the card. Looking forward to continued updates from your amazing team!

Drag Ivko: A comment like "Please redo this feature" is not useful. If you have some constructive criticism please give it. This feature is pretty much exactly what we needed so thank you Clickup for getting it out. I know it will be improved upon as you move forward and get good feedback.

Sure, I posted it under another topic, but here it is:

------

---> To access activity stream, users now need to go away from the task at hand, which breaks the line of thought and requires extra cognitive effort to go back.

Let's say you reviewing a sprint progress in the board view and to see what has been moved on that board and to comment on it, you need to go away on it and search through the entries for a particular card and then you have to go back to it to comment on the card. And this back and forth would need to be done mulitipel times.

Better options would be:

--> breadcrumbs are making the view too busy

There should be an option to hide the breadcrumbs

---> highlighting inconsistencies

i.e. take these two activities:

"You set the due date to May 11"

"You assigned to: You"

In 1st activity "You" at the beginning and at the end of the sentence is highlighted.

In 2nd activity only "You" is highlighted. Applying the logic from the 1st activity, user would expect that "May 11" is highlighted as well as that is an attributed that got changed by user action.

---> task description edits are not captured in the activity stream

What you get is the line that say: "You edited task description" but the content is not offered. This means that an extra effort needs to be taken go see the changes. But where do you click. Naturally, you'd click on "You edited task description" , but alas, that line is not clickable. Now you need to go to the line above to click on the actual task title and not on the breadcrumb which is directly above this line. So you need to go up and then right.

---> not able to respond to comments from activity stream

---> activity related to comments is not clickable

i.e. somebody comments on a task and assigns this comment to you. Activity stream says.

------

User Name commented;

"Please take a look at this today"

Assigned to me

-------

This is all within a white box and the only entry that is clickable here is "User Name", meaning persons name.

Hence, for me to go and review this comment in detail and respond to it or to resolve it, I need to click on the task name which is 4 lines above from where my eyes are.

---> goals actions and changes are not captured in the activity stream

---> documents actions and changes are not captured in the activity stream

---> notepad actions and changes are not captured in the activity stream

---> ability to take action from the stream is not enabled

----> reminders are not captured in the activity stream

----> global filters are not present. meaning:

----------

And there are numerous examples like above....

Plus, activity stream in general is not pleasant for the eye.

------------

Now, there are advantages in offering the activity stream as a new view that can be placed anywhere, and I hope down the road the activity stream will offered as a widget within the dashboard, as that would enable the user to see the things in context.

-----------

The point is: this is a half baked feature that falls extremely short of expectations and will not help user adoption. What this basically does it takes activity from individual tasks and dumps it onto one screen. Bad bad idea and bad execution.

-----------

---> Many of them: ServiceNow, TargetProcess, Jira, Salesforce, Clarizen, Mavenlink, etc...

---> from design perspective, though lacking in functionality, good examples would be: Basecamp, Clubhouse

---> HubSpot has a clean and focused implementation with action buttons that are perfectly positioned and straight to the point

---> Teamwork has a good implementation across all entity items

etc...

--------

Hope this helps...

Dean Phillips: Everywhere this activity stream is shown it needs to have some presets, and it should also save the filter settings.

Ivan Villa:

Hope the option to apply filter will be added:

i.e.

For MVP version, would want to be able filter based on: space / folder / list / assignee / date range / entity type (task / document / conversation) ... at least these options

Dragomir Ivkovic: We do have filters in the scope! 🙌
