Recent Activity widget

Enter a title for the widget. The title appears as a heading above the widget's contents. You should use the title to provide context to the widget and better structure a page's content by clearly denoting different sections.

When entering a title, you do so only for your currently selected language. If your digital workplace supports multiple languages, you should select  Translation and enter a title for each supported language. 

This field can contain a maximum of 140 characters.

Enter a description for the widget. The description appears between the title and the widget's contents. You can use this text to provide information to users about the widget.

When entering a description, you do so only for your currently selected language. If your digital workplace supports multiple languages, you should select  Translation and enter a description for each supported language.

Select from which channel(s) the widget displays content. The Recent Activity widget can connect to:

• Blog channels
• Calendar channels
• Forum channels
• Folder channels
• Wiki channels

Access rules determine what users will see when configuring and viewing the widget: 

• Users who are configuring this widget will only see channels to which they have at least Read access. Users can still select channels that they don't have access to by selecting groups of channels (see step 4 of adding sources below).
• Users who view the published widget will only see content from a channel if they have at least Read access to that content.

To add sources:

1. Select add source(s).
2. Select the content-type tab that contains the channel(s) you want to add.
3. Search for a channel by its name or a portion of its URL. This search will return up to 100 results and include the pages and spaces that contain a channel that matches the search query.
4. Select a channel from the list of search results. In addition to selecting sources individually for a content type, you can select groups of channels:
   • Select the All option to select all channels of a content type in your digital workplace.
   • Select pages or spaces to select all channels of a content type below that location.
5. Repeat this process until you have added all your sources, and then select Done.

To remove sources:

1. Select add source(s).
2. While on the Selected tab, unselect the source(s) that you want to remove.
3. Select Done.

Select which Group's recent activity to display. Only activity from members of this group on the selected Source(s) will display in the activity feed. You can only select one group.

To select a group:

1. Select the Group Filter field.
2. Search for the group by its name. This search will return up to 100 results. 
3. Select the group from the list of search results.

You can unselect a group by selecting the X next to it, or by selecting another group.

Select to filter activity based on a user's subscriptions. Of the selected Source(s), only activity on channels that a user is also following will display in the activity feed.

For folder channels, this only includes activity at the root of the channel, and not activity in any nested folders; regardless of whether the folders are being followed. However, a file created at the root of a followed channel and moved to a subfolder will still appear in the feed.

• Auto: The leftmost slider position. The height of the widget will increase and decrease to contain what it is displaying.
• Fixed: Select a fixed height between 50px to 600px in increments of 50px. A vertical scrollbar will appear on the widget if the content exceeds this fixed value.
