Activity Stream
Activity stream is a feature that can be compared to a journal. It is a list of activities with information about the time when they happened. Use it to read about all actions that take place in a board or a card.
If you need to find the specific information in activity stream, try to set one of the three detail levels: Comments, Relevant, or Everything. Learn more about the differences between activity stream’s detail levels.
Every action that takes place in KanBo will be recorded instantly in related card’s and board’s activity streams. It will also occur at activity stream of the user who performed it, since each user has also their own activity stream.
It does not mean that you can see everyone’s activity. Only actions that happened at the boards and cards you have access to, will be visible for you.
