Activity Stream is an out of the box messaging control to be used on Emakin forms. It supports sending text messages along with attached documents, images, and external links to Emakin users.
Default recipients are Everyone which means all the active Emakin users. It can be changed while posting the message.
Data
Link Template
Adds a link to every message posted on the Activity Stream. Can be used to give a link to another page related with the Activity Stream.
Write directly to link to a relative path or prefix the address with double slashes ( // ) to link to an external page.
Object Id XPath
A unique identifier to bind the messages of a specific Activity Stream.
This Id is used for storing the messages that belong to an Activity Stream as related together in the database. Specify an xpath that leads to a node with GUID value.
Channel Id XPath
Unique identifier of a channel to bind its messages to the Activity Stream.
The word channel here indicates not specifically the channels in case management but on a wider perspective, any environment that accomodates an activity stream, such as an instance. All activity stream messages posted under the roof of this given channel, get listed on the activity stream.
If it is desired to create a unique activity stream that belongs to a workflow and only displays its messages, just specify an xpath with a random GUID value. You can also give the same xpath as the object Id xpath.
