Using the activity stream views

Find out what's new in your network and the wider organization using the activity stream views available from the home page.

You can check for the latest news stories and work with updates in the following ways:

• Use the activity stream options available from the navigation sidebar to filter your updates and display different types of information in the activity stream. Select one of the following views, and then use the Filter By options available for that view to display the updates that you care about.

  Tips:

When you post the comment, the person's name is linked to their profile. A message is also posted to the person's profile to inform them that you mentioned them.
  • When you include URLs in your comments, they are automatically converted to hyperlinks.
• To delete a comment that you added, hover over the comment, click the Delete comment Icon, and click Delete.
