Activity display

Overview

The Activity display feature allows you to see the level of activity in courses and classes, modules and lessons, and groups.

There is also an Activity widget which displays activity details.

The business platform uses the term courses, and the academia platform uses the term classes. The terms "courses" and "classes" are interchangeable in this article.

Activity indicators on dashboard tiles

If enabled, activity indicators appear on course and group tiles.

1. The indicators appear in the upper-right of various tiles.
   
2. The size and pulse frequency indicate the amount of activity in that area.
   
1. The indicators grow in size and flashes faster when there's more activity, and disappear if there is no activity. 
   

Hover over the indicator to display a tooltip, which will inform you if there is low, medium or high activity. 

By default, module or lesson tiles also have activity indicators.

The business platform defaults to the term modules. The academia platform defaults to the term lessons. The terms are interchangeable in this article and customizable in the platform.

Activity widget

If enabled, each course, module and group has an activity widget in the right panel.

The widget updates every second with the latest user activity in that area.
