# Skip activity

We recommend that before enabling the skip activity configurables in the SWARM_ROOT/data/config.php file, you must contact Perforce. For contact details, see Getting help.

If you make a configuration change, P4 Code Review will not use it until the configuration cache has been reloaded, this forces P4 Code Review to use the new configuration. You must be an admin or super user to reload the P4 Code Review config cache. Navigate to the User id dropdown menu, select System Information, click the Cache Info tab, and click the Reload Configuration button.

P4 Code Review activity streams are filtered to display events related to Reviews, Commits (changes), Comments, or Jobs. You can configure P4 Code Review to skip an activity in the SWARM_ROOT/data/config.php file, as in the following example:

- By default all skip activity configurables are set to false in the config.php file.

- When skip_groups and skip_projects are set to true, this prevents all associated groups and project members from receiving activity.

- When skip_groups, skip_projects and skip_followers are set to true, this prevents all associated groups, project members, and followers from receiving activity.
