Activity View

[Darren Rose]

Hello

Not sure if I'm missing something, so thought I'd check. If I create an activity and assign it to someone, I no longer have visibility of it. 

I cannot create a view which allows me to use 'created by' as a condition. Is this something that could be added? 

We're looking to extend our usage of the collaboration tools, and this small feature would help,

Thanks

I like this idea

Hi Darren,

These tasks that you create, you should automatically become the owner of those activities.  In the right hand activity panel there is an option to hide or show activities where you are the owner.

The main activities list will show both activities that you own and activities that are assigned to you.  If you are not seeing the activities that you own, then check your current view to make sure that it is not set to only show where you are an assignee.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

James

Thanks for the tip @James Ainsworth but in our instance it does not seem to work.
I have created a number of activities and assigned to others but clicking the button makes no difference in my view.

Hi @HHH

Can you let me know how this task is created?  The only thing I can think is happening is that the task was created automatically though a workflow and assigned to you as the assignee but not the owner.  When you reassign a task where you are not the owner you will lose sight of the task.  

Using the Show More option on the task you can see who the owner is.  Before reassigning the task make sure that you are the owner.

I created the task manually and assigned it to a colleague.

I have confirmed I am creator and owner and that it's assigned to the colleague in question.
I have added a support ticket for this.

Hi @James Ainsworth

I can see the task in the right hand column, so thanks for letting me know about that. 

What I'd like to be able to do is create a board view, and use the owner as a condition. Would that be possible? 

thanks

Hi @Darren Rose

Yes, I've fed this back to the development team and they will have a look at getting Owner added as one of the condition options.

Hi @James Ainsworth - I found this thread whilst looking to set up a View of Activities created by me.  Is this still on the development team's list?

Thanks

Hi Steve,

I've just checked and it is still in the development list to be added.  No time frame yet, but it has been bumped up the list.  

[James Ainsworth]

The mentioned development work where the Owner field can be used as a condition when setting up Views of Activities has been completed.  It will be available as of the Server build 3357.  Keep an eye open for the release notes over the next couple of weeks.

Regards,

James
