Meetings and Projects have an activity log which maintains a history of everything that’s happened with them. Tasks, the building blocks of Projects and Meetings, also keep a detailed timeline of their history.
To view the history of any task or QA topic, navigate to the Task or QA Topic Details and click on the link labeled “Task or QA History” found below the main content area. This will display the task’s or QA topic’s timeline in reverse chronological order, offering you a clear view of each action taken.
What Does the History Include?
The timeline includes a plethora of valuable information, such as:
- Creation and Modification: See when the task or topic was initially created, by whom, and any changes made to start and deadline dates, including who made these changes.
- Status Updates: Track status changes throughout the lifecycle of the task or topic. For tasks, this could be updates like “in progress,” “complete,” etc. For QA topics, statuses like “created,” “discussed,” “solved,” etc., are noted.
- Responsibility Shifts: Monitor updates to the task owner, approver, and assigner to keep up with who is responsible at any given stage.
- Completion and Approvals: Find out who marked the task or topic as complete, rejected, accepted, archived, or deleted.
This feature not only ensures transparency and accountability but also enhances the ability to manage projects and meetings effectively. By keeping an accurate and easily accessible log of all activities, teams can stay aligned, track progress meticulously, and identify areas needing attention swiftly.
It’s all there, in a nifty timeline.
