Activities appear in the Actions section of the frame; starting an activity amounts to creating an active instance of it, represented in the activity ring. They can be started with a single click. An activity may also be directly manipulated; dragging an activity into the ring will also create a new active instance of it.

Visual cues differentiate between instances of an activity and the [[Design Team/Human Interface Guidelines/The Sugar Interface/Icons#Activity Icons|activity icon]] in the frame. Specifically, any activity installed on the system and appearing in the Actions edge is drawn as a white outline stroke, with no fill. Upon instantiation the icon receives a fill; both [[Design Team/Human Interface Guidelines/The Sugar Interface/Icons#Strokes & Fills|stroke and fill colors]]  match the XO colors of the child who created it.

====Private Activities====

====Private Activities====

Newly created activity instances inherit the scope of the view in which they are created. This means that any activity started from the Home view begins as a private one by default. Children may later [[Design Team/Human Interface Guidelines/Activities/Activity Basics#Sharing_Activities|share]] private activities, opening them up to friends, classmates, group members, or anyone on the mesh through an [[Design Team/Human Interface Guidelines/Activities/Activity Basics#Invitations|explicit invitation]].

====Shared Activities====

====Shared Activities====

Since newly created activities inherit the scope of the view, any activity started directly from the Friends Group view will be open for her friends to participate in. This applies to any group the child belongs to as well.  [[Design Team/Human Interface Guidelines/Activities/Activity Basics#Implicit_Invitations|Implicit invitations]] are sent to all of the members of the currently selected Group, alerting them of the activity. Likewise, any activity started from the (unfiltered) Mesh view will be open to everyone on the mesh, although invitations are not sent.

The views provide scope for instantiating activities. For finer granularity, the search (located in the Frame) provides an incremental filtering system that enables arbitrary selection of scope. As a query is entered into the search field, the view&mdash;Friends or Mesh&mdash;dynamically updates to reveal the matching selection. Matches remain in color, while those filtered out appear with a white outline. The filter terms apply parameters such as the names of activities, the types of activities, the names of individuals, and the interests of individuals.  For instance, a child could search for anyone who likes games before starting a new game of Memory, or everyone in the same grade in a classroom setting, or a specific group of individuals by name. The results of the query become the scope for any new activity instance, and all XOs within that scope receive implicit invitations when an activity begins. These groupings may be saved as groups for future use.

====Receiving Invitations====

====Receiving Invitations====

Incoming invitations appear within the [[Design Team/Human Interface Guidelines/The Laptop Experience/The Frame#Actions|Actions]] section of the Frame, adjacent to the installed activities; they are rendered in the color of the inviter. Rollover reveals both the name of the inviter as well as the name and type of the activity.  On extended rollover, the options to accept and decline appear. There is an optional message back to the inviter upon declining an invitation.

===Notifications===

Notifications behave similarly to Invitations; they also appear in the [[Design Team/Human Interface Guidelines/The Laptop Experience/The Frame#Actions|Actions]] edge of the frame.  However, unlike invitations, which are sent from people on the mesh, Notifications come from activities or directly from the system. As new notifications come in, they form a queue, with the most recent in the lower left-hand corner for quick access.
