Track the activity stream of opportunities, companies, contacts and agreements
Track important activities history on your opportunities, companies, contacts, and agreements: what action was performed, by whom, and when.
Overview
Plan availability: Essential/Advanced
Required user role: Manager
The activity stream is here to help you:
- Prepare meetings with partner companies. Check the last meetings you had with them, and the stage and status of the opportunities tied to this company.
- Report internally on your opportunities. Understand how your opportunities evolved over time when they changed status and stage, who was involved, etc.
- Enhance corporate memory, traceability, and compliance. Track who performed the actions and when.
The activity stream is materialized by a timeline that opens on a dedicated panel on the right of the opportunity.
For each activity, the timeline displays:
- The action that was performed.
- The name of the user who performed the action.
- The date the action was performed.
- For meetings, tasks, and evaluations, a link to the relevant item.
The activity stream displays the most recent activities on top of the timeline and categorized them into chronological sub-categories: Upcoming, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, and Earlier.
Activities generated by meetings, tasks, and evaluations are specifically highlighted by a frame in the timeline.
