The Live widget provides managers with a live feed showing their reportee's activity.

This includes when a reportee:

  • Views an item of content

  • Shares an item of content

  • Comments on an item of content

The Live widget can be added to the Default homepage, Audience Specific Homepage, Default Manager Dashboard, Manager Specific Dashboard, and Community Specific pages in Design Studio.

If the Live widget is added to a Community Specific page, it will only show the activity of your reportees who are members of that community. The activity for any of your other reportees is not shown. 

Filtering the Live widget

You can filter the Live widget so that it only displays a specific activity, using the dropdown.

Admins can set the default filter when configuring the Live widget. For more information, see the Configuring the Live widget section below.

    • Audience Specific Homepage: Homepage specific to certain roles, such as Sales and new starters

    • Default Manager Dashboard: Used to configure the default layout for the Manager/Reportee screen, viewable to all managers who do not have access to a manager-specific dashboard. 

    • Manager Specific Dashboard: Used to configure a manager-specific layout for the Manager/Reportee screen, based on custom profile fields.

    • Community Specific: Homepage for a specific community, such as the IT, Sales, or Marketing communities

  3. If you have clicked the Audience Specific Homepage, Manager Specific Dashboard or Community Specific tabs:
