Track Task Progress with Pronnel's Item Activity

Managing multiple tasks or collaborative projects? It’s easy to lose track of what changed, who made the change, or when it happened. Pronnel’s Item Activity feature eliminates that confusion by offering a clear, time-based record of every action taken on a task—giving your team visibility, accountability, and actionable insights at every step.

What is Item Activity?

Item Activity in Pronnel functions as a chronological audit log. It captures every interaction with a task: whether it's updating the status, assigning team members, commenting, uploading files, or setting deadlines. Every entry is automatically timestamped and linked to the user who performed the action.

This feature ensures transparency across your team and is especially useful in environments where tracking changes is essential for audits, reporting, or project retrospectives.

  • Create Activities in Context: Quickly log new tasks, meetings, messages, or custom events right inside the feed.
  • Boost Team Accountability: Always know who made a change and when.
  • Workflow Clarity: Quickly understand project history without relying on scattered messages or emails.
