Activity Column (_social)
The Activity Column is a virtual column that shows social/collaboration actions for each record — likes, comments, assignments, and tags — directly in the grid row.
Enabling the Activity Column
View tab → Activity Column toggle.
The _social column appears at the far right of the grid (after the meta column if both are enabled).
What It Shows
Each row's activity cell shows icon buttons:
| Icon | Action |
|---|---|
| ❤ Heart | Like / Unlike the record. Count shown next to icon. |
| 💬 Comment | Open comment dialog to add a comment |
| 👤 Assign | Assign the record to a user (creates a ToDo) |
| 🏷 Tag | Add or remove tags |
For submittable DocTypes (Sales Invoice, Purchase Order, etc.), a docstatus badge also appears showing Draft / Submitted / Cancelled.
Liking a Record
Click the heart icon. The count increments immediately (optimistic update). The like is saved to Frappe in the background. Click again to unlike.
Adding a Comment
Click the comment icon → a dialog opens → type your comment → click Add. The comment is saved as a Comment document linked to the record.
Assigning a Record
Click the assign icon → a dialog opens → search for a user → optionally add a description and due date → click Assign. This creates a ToDo linked to the record.
Tagging a Record
Click the tag icon → a dialog opens → type or select tags → click Save. Tags are stored as Tag Link records.
Dark Theme
The activity column is fully dark-theme compatible. All icons and dialogs use Frappe CSS variables for automatic theme switching.
Persistence
Activity column visibility is saved in user settings and workbooks.
