Overview
Activity is your home base for compliance work: one screen that answers both "what do I need to do?" and "what just happened across my network?" The left side is a prioritized list of action items the platform created for you (a license about to expire, a compliance record to reconcile, a background question to answer), each with a button that jumps straight to the screen where you resolve it. The right side is a live Event Log of everything that has occurred across your agencies, agents, markets, and contracts.
What is Activity?
Activity is where you start your day instead of clicking through Markets, License Management, Corporate Registrations, and every other page looking for outstanding work. The platform watches your data continuously, turns anything that needs a human into an action item, and drops a running record of network events into the Event Log so you never have to go hunting for "what changed."
Who uses it. Compliance and licensing managers, operations staff, and owners at downstream entities (Agencies, MGAs, TPAs, IMOs, and similar). Anyone responsible for keeping the organization's licenses, appointments, contracts, corporate registrations, and compliance data current uses this page as their daily worklist and audit trail.
What you can do here:
See every open item that needs your attention, grouped by type, without opening each feature page.
Tell at a glance how urgent the backlog is, with a per-priority count strip and a yellow "needs attention" tint that goes neutral once you are caught up.
Jump straight from an item to the exact screen that resolves it.
Re-prioritize what shows at the top using your own Eisenhower-quadrant assignments.
Mark items done, in progress, or archived in bulk instead of one at a time.
Watch a chronological feed of network events (new entities, license changes, policy expirations, contract signings, compliance syncs) and expand any event to see its full detail.
Trace an event to the action item it created with a single click.
Accessing Activity
From anywhere in the app: Left sidebar → Activity. Activity is the first item in the sidebar; when you have open action items, a count badge sits next to the label so you can see the size of your backlog without opening the page. The badge refreshes automatically every 30 seconds.
The page loads as a two-column layout on wider screens. The header reads Activity with the subtitle "What needs to happen, and what is happening across your network."
What's visible on the page:
Area | What it shows |
Action items (left column) | Your open compliance to-dos, grouped into collapsible category sections. Takes the wider ~75% of the page. |
Event Log (right column) | A scrollable, newest-first feed of recent network events. Takes the narrower ~25% of the page. |
Action items header | An Action items title, a subtitle ("Required, grouped by type"), an N open badge, a Search box, and a Filters button. |
Priority count strip | A single row of counts, one per priority: Do, Decide, Share, Postpone, each with a colored dot. Hidden when there is nothing open. |
Bulk action bar | A row that activates once you select items, with Change status, Archive, and a clear-selection control. |
Category sections | One collapsible accordion per task type (for example Compliance sync, Corporate registrations, Annual reports), each showing its count. |
Event Log header | A Event Log title, the current sort label (e.g. "Newest first"), and a Filter button. |
Event Log footer | A running "N of M events" count. |
To work an individual item, click the item's title or its action button (the colored button at the right end of the row), or expand a category section first to reveal its rows. To inspect an event, click anywhere on its row in the Event Log to expand it.
Working Through Your Action Items
When you'd do this. It's the start of your day (or week) and you want to clear the compliance work the platform has queued for you without missing anything urgent.
Open Left sidebar → Activity.
Read the priority count strip at the top of the Action items card. It tells you how many open items fall into each priority bucket: Do, Decide, Share, and Postpone.
Scan the category sections. Each is collapsed by default and shows a count, so you can decide what to work on before opening anything. Sections are ordered by your priority assignments, most urgent first.
Click a category header to expand it. Only the section you open loads its rows; opening another section collapses the previous one. Rows load in pages of 50 and fetch more automatically as you scroll.
For any row, click the item title or the action button at the right (its label matches the task, e.g. Synchronize, Review, Upload) to jump to the screen where you resolve it.
Resolve the item on the destination screen. Once the underlying condition clears, the item leaves your list automatically.
Tip: The N open badge and the sidebar count both reflect the same number. When the card chrome turns from yellow to neutral and the badge reads 0 open, your active backlog is clear.
Note: Each row's second line is context about what the item concerns (entity name, jurisdiction, NPN, line of business, agent count, or continuing-education hours), so you can recognize the item without opening it.
Updating or Archiving Action Items in Bulk
When you'd do this. You've worked several related items and want to mark them done together, or you want to clear a batch of items you've decided not to act on right now.
In the Action items card, use the checkbox at the left of each row to select the items you want. (A checkbox is disabled when the item is system-owned and cannot be archived by you.)
The bulk action bar at the top of the list activates and shows N selected. If more selectable rows are visible, a Select all on page (N) link appears.
Choose an action:
Change status: opens a small menu with Mark as todo, Mark as in progress, and Mark as done. Pick one to apply it to every selected item.
Archive: moves the selected items into archived history (see the Show → Archived filter to view them later).
Use the X (cancel selection) control to clear your selection without making a change.
Note: Archiving is not the same as resolving. An archived item is hidden from the active list but the underlying compliance condition is unchanged; archive items you've decided to set aside, not ones you've actually fixed.
Reading the Event Log
When you'd do this. Something changed in your network (a license renewed, a policy expired, a contract was signed, a compliance sync ran) and you want to confirm it happened and see the details.
Look at the Event Log column on the right. Events appear newest-first as a single chronological feed.
An unread event shows its title in bold with a blue dot at the right edge. Click anywhere on the event row to expand it. Expanding an unread event marks it as read.
The expanded panel shows the full title and subtitle, a detail list built from the event's data (each value has a copy button), and, when the event links to a page, a View details → link that takes you there.
If the event created an action item, a right-arrow icon appears in the row header. Click it to filter the Action items column down to the item(s) this event produced, so you can act on it immediately.
Tip: Use the Event Log's Type → Actionable filter to show only events that generated work for you, and Log only to show purely informational events.
Filtering and Searching
The page carries two independent filter sets (one for Action items, one for the Event Log), plus a search box on the Action items card. Selections are saved to the page URL, so a filtered view can be bookmarked or shared.
Action items filters
Open the Filters button in the Action items header. The button shows a count of how many filters are active.
Filter | Type | Purpose | Example use |
Filter by priority | Toggle pills | Narrow to one or more Eisenhower quadrants: Do, Decide, Share, Postpone. | Working only your most urgent items? Select Do. |
Filter by category | Toggle pills | Limit to one or more task types (e.g. Compliance sync, Corporate registrations, Annual reports, Background questions). | Doing a registration push? Select Corporate registrations. |
Filter by status | Toggle pills | Show only items in a given workflow state: Todo, In Progress, Done. | Reviewing what's still open? Deselect Done. |
Sort by | Toggle pills | Order the list: Newest first (default) or Oldest first. | Tackling the oldest backlog first? Choose Oldest first. |
Date range | Toggle pills | Limit to a recent window: All time (default), Today, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, This month, Last month. | Auditing this month's new items? Choose This month. |
Show | Toggle pills | Switch between Active (default) and Archived items. | Looking for something you archived? Choose Archived. |
The gear icon next to Filter by priority opens Settings → Action item priorities, where you assign each category to a quadrant (this controls which items count as Do, Decide, Share, or Postpone). Use Clear all in the popover header to reset every action-items filter at once.
The Search box matches against the action item's title and description (case-insensitive; type at least two characters). Partial matches work.
Event Log filters
Open the Filter button in the Event Log header.
Filter | Type | Purpose | Example use |
Section pills | Toggle pills | Show only the chosen event sections; one pill per section your account receives, such as License Events, Compliance Events, Contract Events, Authorization Events, and Corporate Registration Events. | Tracking license activity? Select License Events. |
Type | Toggle pills | Actionable (events that created an action item) or Log only (events with no follow-up). With neither selected, the feed shows both. | Reviewing only events that made work? Select Actionable. |
Sort by | Toggle pills | Newest first (default) or Oldest first. | Reading from the start of a window? Choose Oldest first. |
Date range | Toggle pills | All time (default), Today, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, This month, Last month. | Investigating yesterday's syncs? Choose Last 7 days and read down. |
Status and Priority Indicators
Each action item carries up to three visual cues: a left-edge color stripe for its priority, a status badge, and (when applicable) a due-date badge. Events use an unread dot.
Cue | Color | Label | Meaning | What to do |
Priority stripe | Red | Do | Urgent and important (your assignment). | Work these first. |
Priority stripe | Blue | Decide | Important but not urgent. | Schedule time for these; they matter but can wait briefly. |
Priority stripe | Yellow | Share | Urgent but not important to you personally. | Hand off to the right teammate or knock out quickly. |
Priority stripe | Gray | Postpone | Neither urgent nor important. | Safe to defer; revisit when the higher buckets are clear. |
Priority stripe | Light gray | Other | A category you haven't assigned to any quadrant yet. | Open Settings → Action item priorities to slot it where it belongs. |
Status badge | Yellow | Todo | Not started. | Pick it up, or change status in bulk once underway. |
Status badge | Blue | In Progress | Someone is working it. | Finish it, then mark Done. |
Status badge | Green | Done | Completed. | No action; filter it out with the status filter if it clutters the list. |
Due-date badge | Red | Overdue, [date] | Past its due date. | Resolve immediately; this is your highest-risk item. |
Due-date badge | Yellow | Due [date] | Due within 14 days. | Plan to complete it before the date. |
Due-date badge | Gray | Due [date] | Due more than 14 days out. | On the radar; no rush yet. |
Event dot | Blue | (unread) | You haven't opened this event yet. | Expand the event to read it; the dot clears once read. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did an item disappear from my list after I resolved it? Action items reflect live conditions. Once the underlying problem clears (the license is renewed, the document is uploaded, the question is answered), the platform removes the item automatically. You do not mark these "done" yourself unless you're using bulk status as a working note.
What's the difference between archiving and marking an item Done? Archiving hides an item from the active list but does not change the underlying compliance condition; use it to set aside items you've decided not to act on now. Marking Done is a workflow status. Neither replaces actually resolving the item on its destination screen.
Where do the priority buckets (Do, Decide, Share, Postpone) come from? You assign each task category to a quadrant in Settings → Action item priorities (reachable via the gear icon in the Action items Filters popover). Categories you haven't assigned appear as Other until you place them.
Why is the Action items card yellow sometimes and gray other times? The card uses a yellow "needs attention" tint while you have open items on the Active view, and goes neutral gray when you're caught up or when you're browsing Archived history.
An event mentions an action item. How do I find it? Click the right-arrow icon in the event's row header. It filters the Action items column down to the item(s) that event created so you can act on them right away.
Do my filters and search stay if I navigate away and come back? Filter and search selections are stored in the page URL, so you can bookmark or share a filtered view. Returning to a clean Activity link shows the default unfiltered view.
Best Practices
Start from the priority strip, not the full list. Read the Do / Decide / Share / Postpone counts first, then expand the category that holds your most urgent work. It's faster than scrolling.
Assign your categories once in Settings. Until you map categories to quadrants in Settings → Action item priorities, items land in Other and lose the benefit of priority ordering. A five-minute setup makes the whole page sort itself.
Use bulk status as a working signal, not a substitute for resolving. Mark items In Progress when you start a batch so teammates don't double-handle them, but remember the item only truly clears when the underlying condition is fixed.
Archive deliberately. Reserve Archive for items you've consciously decided to defer. Don't archive items to clean up the view, because that hides real compliance risk.
Check the Event Log after any bulk operation. A compliance sync, an upload, or a status change shows up here. Confirming the event landed is your fastest verification that the work took effect.
Filter the Event Log to Actionable when you're triaging. It strips out purely informational events so you see only what generated work for you.
