Have "Show Activities" checked by default in the My Work pane

Adam_Dzyacky

Those coming into SCSM often miss checking this box off and as a result are not aware of their outstanding activities. Having it checked off by default (and thus in turn giving the user the ability to uncheck it) provides a more natural UI flow.

Adrian_Mataisz

This huge for us. Analysts never check the box.  +++vote for this one

In the meantime you can use this in your custom.js file to perform the same functionality.

You can change the GUID or add other GUIDs to perform the operation on other pages as well.

$(document).ready(function (){
	//click the show activities by default
	if(window.location.href.indexOf("62f452d5-66b5-429b-b2b1-b32d5562092b") > -1){
		console.log("I'm on the AllWorkItems Page!");
		setTimeout(function (){
			$('#showActivitiesInGrid[value=false]').prev('input[type=checkbox]').trigger('click');
		}, 1000);
	};
});

THAT JUST HAPPENED. Thanks Seth, this is crazy awesome.

seth_coussens

No problem. Thanks for visiting us here at the Cireson Community!

@seth_coussens If I want to have it checked on multiple GUIDs (My Work, Team Work,All Work Items) can you show me how the code should look?

Geoff_Ross

Adrian, just paste several copies of the above snippet and put a different guid in each one.

Adrian_Mataisz

Thank You Geoff

Adam_Dzyacky

Yup, the one he provided was for All Work. Just navigate to your "My Work" and "Team Work" sites to get the GUID from the URL.

Adrian_Mataisz

We'll do. Thanks for the help. This community platform is great.

Geoff_Ross

Glad you are seeing the benefit guys. Thanks for visiting and getting involved.

You can also use an

if(href.indexOf("guid1") || href.indexOf("guid2")){ code goes here }

seth_coussens - Like this?

$(document).ready(function (){
	//click the show activities by default
	if(href.indexOf("guid1") || href.indexOf("guid2")){
		console.log("I'm on the AllWorkItems Page!");
		setTimeout(function (){
			$('#showActivitiesInGrid[value=false]').prev('input[type=checkbox]').trigger('click');
		}, 1000);
	};
});

Here it is for broken out for each view.

This is great as many of you have posted. However, what's great about that check box in the Portal OOB is that it remembers your chose when you came back to that page. This customisation kills that as it just 'ticks' it for you every time that view loads. So, what if we want it to default tick for every user, but then remember their choice if they untick it? 

Dennis_de_Jager

Because of the default behavior, I will only implement this on the My Work page.
The other views are flooded with work items anyway and adding the Activities tick by default will flood it even more.

Its a shame that this one didn't get enough votes. Maybe its a handy add-in that could be available.

It would be nice if the feature could be enabled by default but switched off if users really don't need it. We have some processes based on activities on an SR that sometimes get missed when users have to remember to tick this option. So every time there is an upgrade of sorts then they need to go a tick the option again.
