You can favorite a channel to add it to your Favorites tab in the Igloo Mobile app. You can then quickly navigate to the channel from your Favorites tab without searching for it or browsing to it through its content.

Considerations

  • Notifications: Adding a channel to your favorites does not subscribe you to it. If you want to receive notifications from a channel, you must follow it instead.

Who can do this?

  • Any digital workplace member

Favorite a channel

Before favoriting a channel, you must first navigate to it. Use one of the following methods to navigate to a channel:

  • Navigate to a channel using search: While viewing any tab other than the Web tab:
    1. Tap Search.
    2. Enter the name of the channel that you want to favorite.
    3. Tap Search or tap a recent search suggestion.
    4. (Optional) If the search defaults to the People tab, tap Content to view those results.
    5. Tap a search result to go to it. 
  • Navigate to a channel through its content: While viewing content in the channel you want to favorite, tap the channel name at the top of the app.

To favorite a channel:

  1. Go to the channel.
  2. Tap Menu in the upper-right corner of the app. 
  3. Tap Favorite

The Follow and Favorite options appear after tapping the Menu button.
