# Activity

> Track running and completed background processes in your project

## What is the Activity Panel?

The Activity panel gives you real-time visibility into background processes running in your project — such as syncs, matching jobs, and data extraction tasks. You can see which tasks are currently running, which have completed, and which have failed.

## Opening the Activity Panel

Click the **Activity** icon (a pulse/activity waveform) in the top-right of the project header. A side panel slides in from the right listing all recent activity for the current project.

<Note>
  A small dot appears on the Activity button whenever one or more processes are currently running, so you can tell at a glance when work is in progress.
</Note>

## Reading Activity Items

Each entry in the panel shows:

| Element      | Description                                                                  |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Label**    | A description of the task that ran (e.g., "Sync assets", "Match recordings") |
| **Status**   | Current state of the task                                                    |
| **Started**  | Date and time the task began                                                 |
| **Duration** | How long the task took, shown once it completes                              |

### Status indicators

| Status        | Indicator            | Meaning                           |
| ------------- | -------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| **Running**   | Animated pulsing dot | The task is currently in progress |
| **Completed** | Green dot            | The task finished successfully    |
| **Failed**    | Red dot              | The task encountered an error     |

## Activity Log Order

Activity items are grouped by time period and listed newest first within each group:

| Group             | Timeframe                            |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **Today**         | Activities started today             |
| **Yesterday**     | Activities started yesterday         |
| **Last Week**     | Activities from the past 7 days      |
| **Last Month**    | Activities from the past 30 days     |
| **Last 3 Months** | Older activities, up to 3 months ago |

<Note>
  The Activity panel only shows activity from the last 3 months. Older records are not displayed.
</Note>

## Grouping by Activity Type

Within each time period, runs are further grouped by **activity type** (e.g., "Match recordings", "Scan statement", "Export contracts"). Each group header shows:

* The activity type name
* A count badge with the number of runs in that group
* A **Running** label when one or more runs are still in progress
* A small dot when the group has unseen completed runs

Groups auto-expand when they contain a running activity. Click a header to collapse or expand it.

## Expanding an Activity for Details

Each activity row has a **Status** section that you can expand for more context about a single run:

| Detail                | Shown when                                                                                            |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Linked file**       | The run is tied to a contract or statement — click to open it in a new tab                            |
| **Error**             | The run failed — shows the error message                                                              |
| **Skipped**           | The run was skipped — shows the reason                                                                |
| **Message**           | The run produced a single status message                                                              |
| **Key/value summary** | The run reports counts or settings (e.g., recordings processed, suggestions found, contracts matched) |
