The Recommendations widget provides users with a list of recommended content that they have permission to view, based on the number of likes, views, shares, and comments, with the most popular content at the top of the list. Content listed in the Recommendations widget is sourced directly from communities and audiences a user is a member of and can be filtered by time period, including today, last 24 hours, last 7 days, and last 30 days.
The widget can be added to the default homepage, audience-specific homepages, default manager dashboards, manager-specific dashboards, community page, and user dashboards.

If the background image for a PNG thumbnail is transparent or missing, Fuse automatically applies the company custom colour as the background, as shown below: To prevent this from happening, you can convert the image to JPG or add a background to the PNG. This can be done locally on your computer or using an online programme such as: https://png2jpg.com/. |
