This article covers

The Activity Feed provides you with an overview of exactly what has been happening either in your individual house or your full school over a period of time. You will gain insight into what has been logged for student wellbeing (pastoral), attendance (rolls), late returners (passes), when it is a student's birthday, and any notes (such as duty logs) that the staff has shared.

An easy way to grasp the concept of this feature is to think of the Orah Activity Feed like Facebook's Newsfeed.

In the left-hand navigation select Activity Feed.

Select the menu icon in the top left corner then select Activity.

Navigating your school's activity feed is easy with the filter options.

Click on any of the tabs to only see events of that type and to view detailed information.

You can also select the 'All School' button at the top of the Activity Feed to limit your view to events related to a specific house. The date range can be adjusted to view records within a specific time period.

Depending on how your school chooses to use the notes function of the Activity Feed, you may be required to leave notes such as Duty Logs on a daily or weekly basis.

To add a post, select 'New Post' at the top right of the Feed.

More information on creating posts can be found within this article: Creating a post and using post templates

While writing or editing a post, type @ followed by a colleague's name to bring up a filtered, scrollable list of matching staff. Select someone from the list and, once you publish (or schedule) the post, they'll receive an email with a direct link straight to it.

Tagging respects each person's existing view permissions: if someone on the list doesn't have access to see the post, they still appear in the list, just greyed out with a hover explanation — so you know upfront a tag won't reach them. For a scheduled post, the notification email only goes out once the post actually goes live, not the moment it's scheduled.

Staff members can subscribe to a daily digest on the activity feed. This email is sent from 12:00 AM to the selected time (based on the timezone of the school) and will include a summary of the posts created during that window — it does not include activity from the previous day. Posts are ordered by houses to keep all related posts grouped together. This might be useful for staff members who are not frequently using Orah but still need to be informed of any activity captured within posts.
