Preview Comment on Activities

About This Feature

  • Activity comments is a feature in Uptempo Plan (Activities). When this feature is enabled in your Uptempo instance, you can use it to collaborate with other users by adding comments directly to marketing activities.

  • Activity comments are available on activities of all types. They are displayed in their own Comments panel alongside an activity's Details Panel.

  • With activity comments, you can:

    • Add comments to an activity that are visible to all other users who have view access to that activity

    • Organize related comments into conversations with comment threads

    • @mention any user to notify them about your comment

    • Use emoji in comment text, or as reactions to comments

Commenting on Activities

Use activity comments to discuss activities with collaborators, and to record updates, changes, and decisions (such as approvals) on activities. Because comments are visible to all users who have access to an activity, they're a great way to provide insight to all stakeholders as you plan, approve, and execute activities.

Before you begin

To follow the instructions in this section:

  • You must have access to the Plan module in your Uptempo instance.

  • You must have access to the Details Panel of the activity on which you want to view or add comments.

Add a comment to an activity

You can add comments to any activity (of any activity type) that you have view access to.

To add a comment to an activity, follow these steps:

  1. In Uptempo, click Activities in the sidebar to view the activity hierarchy.

    • You can do this in both the Timeline and Summary display modes.

  3. In the Details Panel, click Open comments.

    Note

    If an activity has existing comments, Open comments displays a counter badge showing the number of comments.

    The counter badge is colored purple if you have unread notifications about any of the comments on the activity.

    Tips

    • Thread your comments: Type your comment into the the Reply as... field on any existing comment to start or continue a thread. Threads keep related comments together, making conversations easier to follow.

    • Mention someone: Type "@" followed by another user's name to mention them. When you mention someone, they'll be notified of your comment in their notification area.

    • Use emoji: While writing a comment, click Add emoji to open the emoji keyboard. You can also hold the pointer over a comment and click Add reaction to add an emoji reaction to that comment.

    • Share comments: After you've added a comment, you can copy a link to it to share the comment (and its thread) with someone else. To do that, hold the pointer over the comment and click Copy link to copy the link to the clipboard.

  5. Your comment is added to the activity's Comments panel.

You have successfully added a comment to an activity.
