Filter the Stream feed – Assembla

The Stream is your hub to see what is going on within your project. It displays logged events from the space in chronological order, showing the date and time, author, tool, and action that took place.

Stream events

You can configure personal email notifications on certain Stream events from the Email Notifications tab within the Stream tool. Also, you can view Streams in an RSS Feed reader.

The Stream only displays logged events that happened in the past 60 days.

Filtering Stream events

The Filter sidebar on the right is used to filter Stream events by date, event source, and/or user.

Filtering events by date

Then enter the numbers of days going back from this date in the Going Back field below
Optionally, you ca specify other filtering criteria such as the tools or user
Finally click Filter Events

Filtering events by user

To filter events by user, pick the user from the Filter By User drop down menu.
You can pick only one user at a time

Receiving email notifications for project events

You can receive email alerts on project events. By default email alerts are turned off for most events. You change this and configure your personal email alert settings from the Notifications tab within the Stream tool.

Owners can set the default email notification settings in the project's Admin tab under Email Alert Settings. These settings will apply to new team members added to the project. However, user personal settings made in the Stream tool will override the Admin tab's Email Alert Settings.

Notification event sources

Emails notifications can be configured for these events:

Source	More information
Messages tool
Stand Up Reports tool
Code Commits
Tickets tool
Code Comments
Files tool
Wiki tool
Team tool
Svn diffs	The diff output between the last 2 revisions when a commit is made to an SNV repository.
SSH tool actions
FTP Deploy events
Tool	Events related to tools happens, such as addition or deletion of tools to the project
Git push events
Snippets tool
lower	Events happening in tickets you are following. By default you are a follower on tickets assigned to you. You would usually turn off email notifications for Tickets tools and turn on notifications for Follower, this way you get notified only on relevant tickets.
Mentions	Notifications are sent out when you are mentioned or your group is mentioned in any of the project components. More information on mentioning groups here

Note that in your Stream tab you will only see sources for tools already installed in the project.

Notification Frequency

The notification frequency can be any of the following:

Never (Turns off email notification for this event source)
When an event happens
An hourly summary
A daily Summary
A weekly summary

For hourly, daily, and weekly summary frequencies, if no event happens during the interval no email is sent out.

The default email notification frequency is "Never" for all events except for Follower and Mentions.

Additional notification configurations

You can explicitly opt out of receiving emails for bang mentions by removing the check mark from Receive emails for bang mentions. More information on bang mentions here.
By default you would not receive email notification for your own changes, you can change that by removing the check mark from Avoid my own changes

Using in-Stream Text Messages

Project team members can insert a text messages in the Stream using the text field on the top to communicate with other members. This message will be visible in the Stream to all project members. This feature is only available in Pro/Private projects.
