Rename your activity buttons and change their points

The buttons your district logs with are set in one place: Activities, the last section of District settings under Manage in the left rail. Whatever it says is what every member sees on the Log page.

The list belongs to the district, so a change reaches every agency in it at once. Set earns 1 point and Closed earns 5 by default, and you can move both.

The section’s card starts folded. Its header counts how many buttons are active. It lives at /tracker/admin/settings/activities, and an old link ending #activities still lands there.

Rename a button or change its points

To edit one:

1. Open Manage, then District settings, then Activities.
2. Press the Activities card to unfold it.
3. Press the edit icon on the button’s row.
4. Change Display Name, Points or both.
5. Press Update Activity.

Points go from 0.5 to 100, in steps of 0.5. Anything outside that is refused with Points must be between 0.5 and 100.

A change applies to what’s logged from then on. Activities already logged keep the points and the name they were logged with, so last month’s totals don’t move when you reprice a button. The same is true of an activity somebody edits.

Note

Renaming a button leaves its past activities under the old name. If you rename Set to Appointment set, the activities logged before the change still read Set.

Add a new button

To create one:

1. Unfold the Activities card and press New Activity.
2. Type an Activity ID, a short name like the ones already in the table.
3. Type the Display Name members will read.
4. Set Points and Sort Order.
5. Pick an Icon and a Color.
6. Press Create Activity.

Activity ID and Display Name are both required. An Activity ID can’t be changed once it’s created, so the box is greyed out when you edit.

Sort Order places the button in the list, lowest number first. Color offers Primary, Energy, Warning, Success, Accent and Destructive.

Description is optional, and says what the activity stands for.

Hide a button

There’s no delete. Switch a button’s Visible toggle off instead, and it leaves the Log page for everyone in the district.

Open the info mark beside Visible: the button disappears, and everything already logged with it stays.

Hidden buttons drop out of the table too. Switch Show hidden on to see them, and flip Visible back on to restore one.

FAQ

Who else can change these?

Anyone who can open the admin dashboard in your district, which includes agency Owners. The Owner role is described as the one that configures activities and points.

An advisor says a button is missing from their Log page. Did I hide it?

Maybe, but check theirs first. Each member can hide buttons for themselves under Activity buttons in their own My preferences, and that leaves your list alone. A whole tab missing is a different question.

If I lower the points on a button, do past activities lose points?

No. Each activity keeps the points it was logged with. The new figure applies to what’s logged after you press Update Activity.

Can I fix a typo in an Activity ID?

No. Hide the button and create a new one with the right ID.
