Using The Activity Feed

Within a content and initiative details pages, the activity feed enables tracking of workflow related activity and self-initiated conversations regarding content asset workflow. Activity feed allows Kapost to be the single source location for content workflow collaboration. Activity feed uses @ mention to send a message directly to another Kapost member, or groups that are @ mentioned. Messages or comments you create can be edited and deleted from the activity feed, and also view logs of these added and updated comments on the Member Activity page.

Dashboard Activity Feed

  1. From the navigation menu select the Home icon.
  2. Locate the comment to be deleted.
  3. Clickicon to delete the comment.

Content Asset Activity Feed

The activity feed is always active and ready for an entry. Comments can be typed directly into the activity feed. Comments can also be directed to a team member using the @ symbol in the comment box. The @ symbol combined with a Kapost member name directs the activity feed comment to the designated member. The combination of the @ symbol and a member name is referred to as @mentioning.

@ mentioning a Kapost team member will generate an e-mail notification to that person if the setting is enabled. The member can then click on the link in the e-mail to respond to the message in Kapost or they can answer the e-mail. Either of the actions will be tracked in the activity feed.

Note: You can @ mention individuals and groups in Kapost in activity feeds. Only contributors, editors, or admins can be @ mentioned.

The Add, Edit, or Delete actions are logged in the Activity tab next to the Comments tab to track the changes.
