When you find high-value content or activity, you'll want to come back to it. You'll often want to
track updates as a discussion or document evolves. This topic addresses ways to keep
track of content you've already located, and follow any updates to it as they happen.
For more information about managing activity as it is created and flows into Jive, see Managing
Your Activity Stream.
When you want to keep your eye on a particular discussion, document, or other content
item, you can keep tabs on it using bookmarks or feeds (such as RSS), or you can follow
the item. Following ensures that updates to the item show in in your Followed Activity
on the Activity page.
Following
Following an item gives you the option of getting
Customizing Email Notifications about updates (if you set your email notifications to include
People, places and content I'm following), or viewing
activity around the item through the Followed filter in your Activity area. If you
upgraded from a previous version, and you enabled email notifications on individual
content items or on people or places, those items are now followed items. Whether you
receive email about them depends on your email notification settings. (If you want to
keep an even closer watch on an item, you can pull it into your Communications stream by
clicking
Track This in your Followed Activity stream.) For more
information, see
Following vs Tracking: What's the Difference?Bookmarking
By
bookmarking content
(both inside and outside the community), you can get back to it quickly later. You
can even make a bookmark visible to other people so that they can find it and know
what you're keeping your eye on. With notes on your bookmarks, you can describe why
you like (or don't like!) the bookmarked item.
Feeds
Feeds
(such as RSS) give you a way to see information about content changes and
additions all in one place. To view the list of changes you use what's called a "feed
aggregator," or "feed reader." By and using a reader you can view updates
about content changes and additions through a single tool. For more information, see
How Do I Use
Feeds.
