Concept: Activity Stream
An activity stream is a list of activities that occur in certain objects in Workday. These activities include:
- Comments entered into the activity stream.
- Related business process events.
- Related business process comments.
When you enable activity streams for Workday objects, such as
Job Application
and Organization Goal
, Workday displays the activity stream on the view page of the object.The stream displays the activities in reverse-chronological order (with the most recent at the top).
Add or Delete a Comment
In activity streams, you can:
- Add a comment by entering content into the text box and clickingPost.
- Delete a comment by clicking theDeleteicon (trash can) for that comment. You must have access to theAdminister Activity Streamdomain to delete any comment from activity streams that you can view.
Tag a Person in a Comment
You can tag 1 or more people in activity stream comments by clicking
@
next to the comment text box and selecting users from the prompt. Who you can tag in comments depends on the Workday-delivered security requirements for the selected object. People that you don't tag can still view comments in the activity stream if they have view access.Notifications for Activity Comments
When you tag a person in a comment, they receive a notification:
- On theirNotificationspage.
- Through the notification channel that is configured for the Activity Comments notification type on theEdit Tenant Setup - Notificationstask. Example: When you configure the Activity Comments notification type to use a routing rule that specifies email as a channel, the person tagged in the activity stream receives an email notification. You can also configure SMS as the channel if it is enabled in your tenant.
Notifications include:
- The comment.
- Name of the person who posted the comment.
- Link to the object where the comment occurred.
