Monitoring User Activity
Upon signing in to your Enterprise, the Activity page immediately loads. Here you are able to browse all Onshape activity of your Enterprise users from simple changes made to documents to viewing and responding to comments, and even viewing the differences (diffs) between versions of documents. If you are not an administrator of your company subscription, you see your own Activity stream.
Here’s a rundown of the information you have access to and the actions you are able to take.
The panel on the left lists filters. These are primarily Project names so you may zero in on seeing all the activity for one Project at a time. Use the folder icon on the border of the Filter list to expand and collapse the list. You are also able to click the border and drag to resize the width of the list.
- All activity - View all activity on all documents in the Enterprise.
- By project - Click a project to see activity only on the documents included in that project. A selected project is indicated by a blue bar to the left of the name, and the name is also blue and bold.
Within each activity stream you see tiles for each user action. The tiles contain information like:
- User name - Click to display an information pane with user-specific information like email address, status, last time signed in, and a scrolling list of that user's recent activity.
- Document acted upon with date and time - Click the document name to display an information pane with document-specific information like a thumbnail, the document description, document labels, sharing specifications, and the folder location (click this link to open the folder and display the contents on the Documents page (this action redirects the page). Also shown is the name of the user who created the document and when it was last modified and by whom. The default workspace is also shown, as well as a list of recent activity.
- Overflow menu (top right of the tile) - Use this menu to Open the document in a new tab.
- When a document has been edited (as opposed to simply opened), you see a Show changes option below the thumbnail. Click this option to expand the tile to include a list of the changes made during that edit session.

Longer comments may get truncated in the Activity stream, but will have a Show more link below them for the option to expand the comment to its full content.
When the action performed on a document is a modeling action (creation or edit of a sketch, feature, assembly, etc), a link to Show changes is displayed below the document thumbnail.
When the action performed on a document affects a version of the document, a link to View diff is shown below the thumbnail. Click View diff to open the View diff popup. Cycle through the document’s tabs here, viewing the difference between the version thumbnails. Click Open 3D compare to open the document in a new tab, in the Compare window.
