The action card is your home base for important details and collaboration. For a tour of the card's layout and sections, see Meet the redesigned action card in Hive.
The card makes it easy to quickly gather the most important details of any assignment. In the right column you'll see who is assigned to the action, when it's due, and what the card's status is.
If you'd like the action card to appear as an event in your Google/Outlook Calendar, you can use the 'Schedule time' option under the Dates section in the card. To make the 'Schedule time' option appear, you'll make sure you have Hive Calendar connected in your Hive Apps.
The pop-out will show your Calendar availability, including existing events and you'll be able to choose a suitable time slot. The event will appear in your Calendar with the same name as the action card title.
To schedule an event for both you and your teammate/-s, you can add them to the guest list. Hive will then show the full Calendar availability of each team member you add – making it easier than ever before to schedule time for meetings, check-ins, and more!
Use the following options to easily add your event data to the action card as well:
Add to estimated time - add event time duration to the Estimated time section on the card;
Add users as assignees - set all guests as assignees on the card;
Set as action due date - use the event date as a new due date for your action card.
Note: this feature works for both Google & Outlook Calendars, however, Outlook users can only schedule time for their own calendar, not search for others' availability.
The top bar of the action card tells you which project it's in, and the bar's color represents the project color. Move the card to a new project by clicking on the caret next to the project's name.
To mark your card as urgent or as a milestone, make it private, apply or save action templates, choose which sections appear on the card (Customize), convert your action, or use other great features, head over to the 'More' menu at the top right of the card.
You can also change a status's color. Open the Status dropdown, hover over the status you want to change, and click Edit status.
Note: since this is a global setting, the color will be changed in every action card with that status in your workspace. Keep this in mind when changing common statutes like "In Progress" or "Completed".
Quickly add followers, share, snooze, archive, or delete your action from the bottom right of the card.
Following the card means you will get notifications in your activity feed for things like comments, status updates, and date changes. Assignees will automatically become followers.
Use the comments section on the bottom left of the card to collaborate with your teammates. When you @mention someone, they will automatically be added as a follower. You can use the @action and @project shortcuts to automatically send a direct mention notification to all action card followers, and all project members, respectively.
To see the history of your card, click on the 'Show history' option at the bottom left of the card.
Finally, if you would like to adjust the Hive Apps that are visible on your action cards, head to the Edit Project menu (More > Edit Project > Advanced settings) and select which Apps should appear for this project:
Note: the options available will depend on which Hive Apps you have turned on or connected in your workspace.
