Jifflenow: Staff Activity Enhancements

As activities become a core part of the staff scheduling experience, meeting managers need two things: a structured way to capture context on each activity, and a faster way to work with activity data in reports. Jifflenow now adds a Comments field to all activity types so organizers can document objectives and notes directly in the form, and introduces a new Category filter in on-demand reports that lets users quickly isolate meetings or activities data. Together, these make activities more informative to run and easier to analyze at scale.

Key Highlights

Comments Field: A Comments text area is included by default for all activity engagement types, allowing Meeting Managers to capture activity objectives directly in the form.

Notification Flow: Comments entered on an activity are included in participant notifications, giving attendees context before the activity takes place.

Bulk Upload Ready: The Comments field is included as a column in the default bulk upload template, so activity context can be set at scale via import without form-by-form entry.

Category Filter: On-demand reports now include a Category filter (Meetings / Activities) so users can view just meetings, just activities, or both in a single report.

Smart Default: The Category filter defaults to Meetings, preserving familiar report behavior for users who haven't enabled staff activities.

Why Does It Matter

Richer Context: Meeting Managers can now communicate the purpose of each activity directly in the form, and that context is automatically delivered to attendees through notifications.

Cleaner Reports: Users no longer need to manually sift through mixed meetings and activities data — the Category filter isolates what they need with a single click.

Legacy Parity: Both additions restore capabilities from the legacy staff scheduling experience, reducing friction for customers who have migrated to the revamp.
