'Custom Feeds' Widget

This widget is configurable and contains a feed option for the Workspaces Feed and the Kudos Timeline.

The Workspaces Feed displays an overview of all updates added to all workspaces that a user is a member of while the Kudos Feed displays a timeline of all the Kudos visible to the user.

This article explains how to use this widget and contains the following sections:
  1. Configuring the Widget
  2. The Workspaces Feed
  3. The Kudos Timeline

1. Configuring the Widget

The 'Custom Feeds' widget can be configured to either include both the Workspaces Feed and the Kudos Feed, or to have only one or the other. The widget can then be added multiple times to a dashboard, meaning a separate Workspaces Feed and Kudos Feed could be included on a Home Dashboard.

To configure the widget:

1. In the Home Dashboard, switch Configure Dashboard ON.
2. Click the Pencil Icon in the top right corner of the widget.
3. Tick the boxes for the Workspace Feed and / or the Kudos Timeline to include them in the widget.
4. Click Save and Close.

2. The Workspaces Feed

Using the Workspaces Feed:

  • A user can delete any updates that they have posted in and can add / delete their own comments.
  • If a user is an admin of a Workspace, they can delete any posts and comments for that workspace from the Workspace Feed.

Note:

  • Even if all Workspaces permissions are turned OFF for a Security Role, this widget will still be available.
  • If a user is a member of a Workspace they will always see posts in this widget.
  • Users who have no permissions to see Workspaces can still be members of a Workspace. This is most common with a Corporate Workspace because all users are automatically members.
  • Therefore, if you have any security roles with Workspaces turned OFF, we recommend that you don’t use Corporate as the Privacy Setting for any Workspaces.

3. The Kudos Timeline

The Kudos Timeline in the 'Custom Feeds' widget has the same main functionality as the Kudos Timeline screen. In the widget, a user can:

  • View recent Kudos that they have visibility access to.
  • Filter Kudos by their Category.
  • Filter Kudos posts by:
    • My Received
    • My Given
    • All
    • My Team
    • My Org Unit
    • My Company
  • Comment on Kudos.
  • Edit Kudos posts they have given and comments they have given.
  • Give Kudos.
