Activity log and comments

Every record keeps a history of what happened, and a place to talk about it.

Most records in Aevy carry an Activity section: a running history of what happened to them, newest at the top, each entry naming who did what and when. A comment box sits at the top of the same feed, so the discussion lives next to the history rather than in a separate thread. You can see how a task, a finding, or a document reached its current state, and talk about it in place.

An activity feed with an entry and a comment
The activity feed, expanded: the comment box on top, then every change with who made it and when. Aevy’s own actions show like anyone else’s.

The same Activity section appears across the platform and works the same wherever you are. You will find it on:

  1. Tasks and reminders, findings (punchlist), and events. The work items.
  2. Systems, contacts, and companies.
  3. Documents and requirements.
  4. An asset’s overview, and inside the quick-view drawer you open from any table row.

If a record has a history worth keeping, it has an activity log.

The feed records the changes that matter, and nothing happens silently:

  1. Creates and deletes. “created the task”, “deleted the system”.
  2. Field changes. “set financial year start to …”, or “changed status from … to …”, with a status shown as its coloured badge.
  3. Assignments and links to documents and other records.
  4. Aevy’s own actions. Accepting a suggestion, extracting a fact, posting a comment. When Aevy acts, it is in the log like anyone else.

Write a comment in the box at the top of the feed. Comments are rich text and take @ mentions, so you can point at a record or bring in a teammate (see the mentions guide). You can reply to a comment, react to one (a thumbs up, an eye, a hundred), and edit or delete your own. Mention a colleague to loop them in, or mention Squirrel to ask it to act on the record.

Use Notify me on a record to subscribe to its updates, and choose which kinds of change reach you: a status change, an assignment, a new comment. The subscription is per record, so you follow the handful you care about without hearing about everything.
