About the Activity Stream+
Our Activity Stream+ widget has the option to show and/or hide comments toggle inline with each conversation. This is extremely useful when there are multiple comments on a thread, as it makes it easy to expand or collapse them with one click, streamlining a user's view of the thread. Comments are hidden by default. Simply click the "Show Comments" link to expand the replies and click "Hide Comments" to hide them.
Key Features:
Can display up to 6 different custom filters
Can display information from groups as well as sub groups
Setup and Configuration
Add the Widget
The Activity Stream Widget requires one place in Verint to set up:
Add a new widget to the page
Navigate to the group, space or project
Click on the pencil icon ()> Manage group theme > edit this page
Search for the Activity Stream+ Widget
Hold down the mouse on the widget name and drag it onto the page where you want to display it
Configuring the Widget
While configuring the widget, DO NOT click off the white popup box or you will lose your configurations and will need to click the gear to edit and start again.
Now that you have the widget placed on the page you will need to navigate to the configuration of the widget. To do so navigate to the widget you want (edit the page) and click on the cog in the corner of the widget.
Widget Title
Choose a title for your widget and type it in under the widget title. This is fully customizable and you can call the widget whatever you would like. Pictured below is the widget with the widget title displaying and how to get it to display.
How to Display Group Name
Click on the pencil icon in the top left of the screen → click Manage site theme → click edit this page
Navigate to the configuration panel of the widget and click on the format icon → click top border and header
Number of Items to Display
Choose how any groups do display within the widget. For list view the recommended amount is 10 as it fills in the widget and is a nice preview without too much scrolling.
Activity Stream Mode
There are four different options for an activity stream mode, meaning where it will look for content to pull in to display.
Site (All activity) - Will pull in content from the entire site
Site (Contextual user’s joined and optionally subgroups) - Will pull in content from the contextual user’s joined groups within the site as well as those subgroups if the include subgroup activity is checked off.
Group (Activity in a group and optionally subgroups) - Will pull in content from a specific group in addition to subgroups if the checkbox labeled include subgroup activity is checked off.
User (Activity for contextual user) - Will pull in content that the contextual user has created or contributed to.
NOTE: Endless Stream will automatically load more content once you scroll near the end (bottom) of the widget. We recommend that you turn this off and do not use it.
How to Create Filters
You are allowed to have up to six different filters within the activity stream widget. Each one is customizable and easy to use.
Filter Name - What name will display for the filter. Ex: Filter 1’s Filter Name is Updates and Filter 2’s Filter Name is My Activity.
There can be up to six different filter and names
Activity Story Types
For each filter you can choose what content to display. The options for each type of content within a filter include:
Exclude Activity - Will not include any type of that content
Include Accessing User’s Activity - Will include the accessing user’s activity for that specific type of content (ex: Blog Posts with this option will show that accessing user’s own blog posts)
Include Accessing User’s Followed User’s Activity - Will include the activity of those who are followed by the accessing users for that specific content type (whether it be a blog post, calendar event, etc)
Include Accessing User’s and Followed User’s Activity - Will include the activity of the accessing user as well as those who they follow for that specific content type
Include All User’s Activity - Will include all site user’s activity for that specific content type
Add up to six different filters with different names and activity story types, fill out all filters before clicking on the save button.
Once the two fields above are filled out and all filters you would like to have are filled out, click on the save button.
Navigate back to the side menu (where the pencil icon is) and click Publish
