Run the day from Activity and Operations

Use Activity as the operating view host. Use Operations to understand pressure around the system.

2 min read

Use the right section#

AreaUse it for
Activitylive queue work, triage, assignments, quick actions, and operating views
Operationsaction queue, announcements, resource alerts, coverage, connector health, and automation follow-up

If you are moving work, start in Activity. If the queue looks fine but the day still feels blocked, open Operations.

Activity changes by view#

  • each team can get one or more functional views
  • the Activity view dropdown switches the queue, widgets, and quick actions
  • views can be tied to specific processes, forms, or work patterns

The page is the same. The operating surface changes.

What Operations shows#

The current Operations surface groups the day into:

  • Action queue
  • Announcements
  • Resource alerts
  • Overdue assignments
  • Upcoming coverage
  • Connector issues

If the same operational fix keeps repeating, move from Operations into Processes or Operations > Automation.

Hand work off when the blocker becomes specific#

  • Work for one person's assignments, shift, or time off.
  • Employees for roster and schedule changes.
  • Customers when account cleanup or follow-up is the real issue.
  • Documents when the job cannot move without a file or signature request.
  • Accounting when the issue becomes collections, cash, reconciliation, or close work.

Daily loop#

  1. Open Activity on the view that matches the work you are doing.
  2. Work the live queue and follow the next action surfaces.
  3. Move the blocker into the section that owns it.
  4. Open Operations to see whether the delay is really staffing, resource pressure, or a connector problem.
