Activity Streams

Activity streams are the core collaboration component that appears in many places throughout Hornbill. Wherever you can see collaboration taking place, there is an activity stream at the heart of it.

If you follow, or are a member of, something that has an activity stream, you will:-

• Be able to take part in it, i.e. perform all of the actions below
• Receive notifications of updates to that stream.

All activity streams have the following features:

Post	- start a discussion by writing a textual message
Share image	- like a Post, but include an image, from a local file or a web address
Share video	- like a Post, but include a web address that points to a video on YouTube or Vimeo - you can view it within the post
Set visibility	- you can define who can see each post – its visibility – either all Co-workers (the default), or just members/followers
Comment	- respond to a post - this can include an image or video, like a post
Ask a Question	- a special type of Post that others can Answer. Other Co-workers can vote on which one they think is best, and the original poster has a casting vote, which brings that answer to the top and marks it as the Poster's Choice
Like	- show your approval of a post or comment, and see who else liked it (you can also un-like)
Translate	- You can translate a post or comment – either before you send it (if your language is different from the system default) or when you read it (if the post’s language is different from yours)
Perform app-specific actions	- If you have other apps installed (such as Service Manager), and you have the rights, you may have other actions available on posts, such as Raise Request
Mentions	- You can highlight a co-worker in the text of a post or a comment.

If you not a member or follower, you can still:

	Look up poster	- click on whoever posted something, or where they posted it, to go to that person or place
	View full page	- click on a post’s timestamp to see that post and all its comments in a full page view
	Auto scroll	- if you want to see more, keep scrolling at the bottom, and more items will automatically appear

Activity Streams appear in:-

• Your News Feed
• Your Buzz page

• Other Libraries (if you have Document Manager)
• Organisations (if you have Customer Manager)
