This article covers the updated Activity Center of April 2022. Articles pertaining
to the older Activity Center are still available in our Knowledge Base under similar titles but will be phased out as new Activity Center replaces its older version entirely.
Activity Center uses a number of conventional symbols and tags that serve as coded messages that allow you to identify objects at a glance or be warned of of the state of projects or tasks so that you can take prompt action.
Below is a list of such conventional symbols and markers:
