You will see all the members of the selected group listed on the left-hand side, whether you are viewing from a client or a group, along with a count of the number of open activities each client or group has. A total number of Activities is also displayed in the red box in the top right.
The activities for the client or group selected on the left-hand side are displayed on the right-hand side. You can see the activities for one client or group at a time, or you can use the Group icon in the bottom left of the Activities area to show all the activities for the entire group.

Activities can be completed, edited or deleted (with the appropriate access levels), by clicking on the drop-down arrow in the top right of an activity log.
Comments
Once the bulk activities are created, do they become their own individual instances? IE, if you make a change in one Activity, it is not made across the rest of the bulk Activities that were created.
