## Activities Example

The following plug-in contains an example of two different activity techniques. The first technique demonstrates how activities can be used to filter a specific contribution, in this case, the Problems view. The second technique is to filter an entire plugin.

Note: For the end user, Activities are referred to as Capabilities in the UI.
