Is it possible to search within a user's activity?

cybertrapped July 8, 2024

Hello,

 

Can I search within a user's activity?

If yes, how to?

If yes, and this is documented, where could I find it?

 

Thanx

@cybertrapped probably not the answer you want, but as far as I know this is not possible. ðŸ˜­ what kind of thing are you looking for within the activity? you might be able to create automation that creates "logs" of cards on a board somewhere when that activity takes place and then you can search through that board.

@cybertrapped i'm actually writing about how I would do this in my newsletter this week, so I thought I'd share a screenshot showing the rules I'd set up:

Feel free to accept this answer so others who are looking for the same thing know there is a potential solution in here if they set up the automation!

@Brittany Joiner  I like your idea, but the drawback is the limitation on the data I'd be able to log (i.e., search)... only activity after I implement your idea... :(

What are your thoughts about exporting all data from a workspace, perhaps csv, and then creating a quasi-database and search within it?

I understand that "The JSON and CSV exports include the 1000 most recent actions on a board, which includes comments. To export all comments, use the Export all boards within a Workspace option below." https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/exporting-data-from-trello/

Thanx

@cybertrapped ah yeah, like backups, they also won't work retroactively, so that's a good point ðŸ˜‚ The export is a good idea! You could do that as JSON export and then use a tool to convert JSON to CSV (like this one, but there are a million others if you google: https://data.page/json/csv )  and dump it into a spreadsheet and search in there.

I haven't looked at what the exact format/schema of activity would look like, but if you know a keyword of what you're trying to search for (like a username) you might even be able to just view the JSON in your browser and search in there. (There are chrome extensions to make reading JSON more easily, like this: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/json-formatter/bcjindcccaagfpapjjmafapmmgkkhgoa)

Thank you Vronik, but your answer did not help me.

I want to search WITHIN the activity of a given user.

Right now, I can view the activity feed of a user. To load things on the past, I have to click a load more button, but I want to search for a given term within the activity of the user without having to load ALL OF the activity (which I don't know can be done). 

Do you have any other ideas?

Thanx
