The activity feed is a social stream in your app. Attendees post photos, videos and comments, and you can pull in comments and posts from other features.

Feature settings

Go to Main Navigation > Edit (Features/Menu) and click Activity Feed.

Content to include within the Activity Feed: pick the features to pull posts and comments from. This is optional; the feed can show only what's posted to it directly. Features with social content:

• Agenda (comments)
• Activity Feed (videos, photos, posts and comments)
• Discussion Board (posts and comments)
• Photos (photos and comments)
• Videos (videos and comments)
• Exhibitors (comments)
• News (comments)

Allow Users to add content: lets attendees post. Turn it off if you want the feed to be a read-only roll-up of activity from other features. Allow Likes on Items in the Activity Feed: shows or hides like counts. Allow Comments: lets attendees comment on posts. Moderate Content: every post waits for a moderator to approve it on the Activity Feed page in the CMS. Send a notification to the author when a comment is added: the author gets a push when someone comments on their post.

Add the feed to your home screen

On your event dashboard, click Design > Phone Home Layout and click Activity Feed to add the panel. From the panel, attendees can see the latest posts and post photos, videos and comments.

Schedule a post

On the Activity Feed page (left menu), click + next to the feed name, then Create a Post (or Create a Photo). Use Display After to pick when it appears. Posts show you as the author unless you turn on Gathering as author, which posts it as the event. You can also limit a post to certain Participant Types.

Moderate posts

On the Activity Feed page (it's titled Social Activity), all posts show by default. Use Select All to pick everything, Reset Filters to clear filters, and Export > Excel to download posts. Use the feature names on the left to filter by where a post came from, or click + next to Posted Between to filter by date.

To moderate, check the posts, then:

• Toggle Approval to approve or hide them
• Delete Selected to remove them for good

Posts waiting for approval or scheduled for later show a Hidden label (for example, Hidden (Scheduled, Unapproved)). Turn on Scheduled to see only scheduled posts.

FAQ

Posts aren't showing in the app.

Two common causes: Moderate Content is on, so posts are waiting for approval, or the feature the posts come from isn't selected in the feed's settings.

Activity Feed, Discussion Board or Photos: which do I need?

The activity feed is a social stream of posts. The discussion board is for threads on set topics. Photos is a shared photo gallery. You can have one Activity Feed and one Photos feature per event.

Can I show the feed on a big screen?

Only by showing the web app version on that screen.

Can I add our X (Twitter) feed?

Not anymore. X changed its access rules.

The dashboard photo count doesn't match the list.

The list loads 40 photos at a time. Scroll to load more.
