About the activity center
Overview
The activity center is a powerful feature that keeps you up-to-date about artifacts that you care about. It also provides easy access to all reviews in which you are a participant.
You can access the activity center by clicking Activity Center in the explorer panel. The activity center appears in the main content area. It displays recent activities on the left side, and on the right side it provides a list of all the reviews to which you are a participant. The activity center looks like this:
Recent activities provide an overview of what is happening with artifacts that you care about in all of your projects, not just the projects that you currently have opened. Blueprint displays up to 60 of the most recent activities.
Populating your activity center
There are two ways to start populating your activity feed:
-
Follow an artifact
Following an artifact in Blueprint is similar to following a person in other social media applications. When you follow a Blueprint artifact, the activity center is populated with activities whenever users edit, delete, or comment on that artifact. To follow an artifact, simply select the artifact and click the Follow button in the artifact header.
You can follow an artifact in two ways:
- Manually follow an artifact by clicking the Follow button.
- Automatically follow an artifact:
- when you create a new artifact (authors automatically follow the artifacts they create).
- when you comment on an artifact.
- when you are mentioned in a comment by another user.
-
Participate in a review
When the review has been started or closed, your activity center is updated with a new activity.
