Abstract

A social collaboration workflow system embeds social collaboration functionality into the workflow process. The system identifies a location of a user device, and identifying a current activity associated with the user device based on the identified location. The system displays instructions for performing the current activity to a user interface on the user device, and displays an activity feed comprising a set of previously submitted activity feed posts that are related to the current activity to the user interface. The system determines whether the current activity has changed to a new current activity. If the current activity has changed, the system displays instructions for performing the new current activity to the user interface, and displays a new set of previously submitted activity feed posts that are related to the new current activity to the user interface.
