Q1: What are Activities in X-Info WebConnect?
A1: Activities are the common things a user does, such as find a land parcel, add a communication, complete an assigned task, add a new contact or update contact details and assigning jobs to users. They can be customised for particular Users and Groups, so Users only see and access the information relevant to them.
With the use of Activities, we can set up overviews, dashboards, reports as well as design activities for specific users to manage their processes and workflow. This makes their daily tasks more simplified by removing the additional steps and information that isn’t needed to be seen.
Activities include Open, Search, Capture and Overview. Activities can be global, which can apply to all objects and data within the connection, or contextual, which only apply to the relevant object when it is selected from a global activity.
Global Activities are activities relevant to all objects and data within a connection. These activities are displayed in the activities panel. When a global activity is selected, the data is displayed in an activity tab.
Example of a Global Search Activity – Find property (with navigation tools and contextual activities)
Contextual Activities refer to things that can be done for specific object types (projects, entities, linked entities, contacts, associated contacts, communications etc.), eg. updating or completing a communication or making changes to a current contact.
As per the above diagram, these activities are displayed as a button in the toolbar when the related object is selected.
