Activity Stream
Audience: This article is intended for community owners
Uncover the full potential of the Activity Stream as we walk you through its functionalities and demonstrate how it seamlessly enhances the user experience, making your platform more interactive and engaging than ever.
Introducing a web part designed to explore a user’s social activity, serving as a summary of their recent actions. It is intended to be displayed on two pages:
- My Profile: This page allows users to view their own activity, including edited documents, modified pages, and more.
- Detail Person: This profile page showcases the social activity of a user. It is important to note that only information shared with the second user is visible, incorporating a permission filter. This means you will not be able to see actions such as document uploads or likes for content you don’t have access to.
This feed is limited to the past 30 days, with information automatically removed once this timeframe has passed.
Upon deploying the solution, this web part comes pre-installed on both pages and is formatted for seamless functionality.
