| Status | Indicator color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Active | Green | The feature has qualifying usage or configuration activity in your organization. |
| No Recent Activity | Red | The feature is enabled but has not shown qualifying activity recently. |
| Requires Plan Upgrade | Yellow | The feature is not available in your current subscription plan. |
Active
Active features display a green status indicator. This status means the feature has qualifying usage or configuration activity detected in your organization.
Depending on the feature, qualifying activity may include:
User interactions
Workflow executions
API usage
Deployments
Content updates
Feature configuration
Note Most activity checks evaluate usage within the last 90 days.
No Recent Activity
No Recent Activity features display a red status indicator. This status means the feature is enabled in your organization but has not shown qualifying activity recently.
This status can help you identify:
Features that may need additional onboarding.
Features that are configured but unused.
Opportunities to improve platform adoption.
Requires Plan Upgrade
Requires Plan Upgrade features display a yellow status indicator. This status means the feature is not available in your current subscription plan.
