Your status update is a great way to let community members know what you're working
on or what you're thinking about right now. You can also look at the status updates of
fellow community members.
Status updates are informal blurbs that let people know you're active and engaged
in the community, for example, "Loved the company pizza at lunch today. Thanks @HR team!"
or "Slogging through the #XYZ #report. Ugh!" Using updates you can:
- Comment on, share, bookmark, track (follow), or repost an update by clicking any of
these commands in the footer of the update (yours or others'). This is a fun way to
engage with others community members.
- Delete your own update by going to your Communications stream and clicking on the
time stamp in the update. From the permalink page, click
Delete.
- See the identities of people who liked your update and how many likes it received by
going to your Communications stream and clicking on the time stamp in the update.
Click the number next to Like to see the people who liked
your update.
- Insert tags into your update by preceding keywords with a hashtag (#) so that you
and others can find the update more easily later. For more on tagging, see What are tags?
How can I see the updates of others?
If you mouse over a person's avatar, you see a summary of their profile, including
their latest update. When you click an avatar, that person's profile page opens. To
see their status updates, click on ActivityStatus Updates Only.
You can filter your What Matters: Activity stream by
selecting . You can also see status updates in the Community Activity and
Popular Updates widgets.
Note: Make sure you insert the Community Activity widget
into a wide column so you can use all of its features. In a narrow column,
you'll only see updates.
