Paralyzed by the possibilities? Try out these sample activities for inspiration.
The first step of any activity is its creation. You can start from scratch, copy an existing one, or reuse a template.
Try assigning to-do items to team members so you can manage project goals. Later, if you don't want to expand all those sections to look for a single item, you can view all to-dos from the To-Do List tab.
Entries are the most flexible components of an activity. They can be made to fit any situation by using custom fields.
Sections and entries chunk content into manageable portions, and they're good at it. Try grouping by name, due date, or content type.
Members don't automatically receive notifications from your activity. You can manually notify each member of an update, or have all your members follow the activity to get routine updates.
Activities have a few features that you might need a little help finding. Explore your preexisting activities in unexpected ways by trying these tips.
