    Hi everyone,

    I'm excited to share a new extension that I've been working on, an activity feed dashlet for iTop.
    It should be feature complete, though it might need some refinement for edge cases.

    This extension brings to your iTop a new dashlet: DashletFeed.
    DashletFeed provides a unified activity timeline showing object changes, transitions, and log entries as they happen. It's like having a "news feed" for your iTop objects, with OQL filtering to choose which objects to track and granular controls for attribute and status filtering.

    Dashlet example

    You can find this extension on my Github.
    Looking forward to your feedback and suggestions for improvements

    Have a nice week 👋

    Hello AHalfWildSheep,

    Looks very nice and slick, wow 🤩
    Did you had any particular use cases in mind for it?

    It could be great for users who don't have permissions to create notifications, that way they could follow changes on a specific scope anyway.

    Take care,
    Guillaume

    Hi Molkobain,

    Thanks for the kind word and for the translations pull request, I'll look into it.

    My first need was tracking changes on a parent or sibling object (Tickets or BBugs as I try to finish a bug-tracker extension). Instead of hardcoding a DisplayBareRelations, I used an AttributeDashlet and this dashlet to keep these data easy to access.

    Indeed it's also an easy way for any end-user to track changes without having to ask for a specific notification.

    If you happens to use this dashlet, please let me know your use case!

    Regards
