Object-based activity stream

Object-based activity stream is a mode of the Messages workspace that groups information into three tabs: chats, objects, and starred. In a separate tab you can view all correspondence and notifications for each app item, task, or file. This is useful if employees often have discussions in the activity streams of objects, for example, when working with applications.

The object-based activity stream can be enabled as follows:

начало внимание

To make the object-based activity stream available, the system administrator has to enable the enableFeedByTargets feature flag. For more details, read the Modify BRIX Enterprise parameters and Modify BRIX Standard parameters articles. If you are using the SaaS edition, contact your BRIX sales rep to enable the flag.

конец внимание
