Posting to a Timeline

The Timeline feed allows you to post comments or updates on a user's timeline, much like the way you would post in a discussion group. You will always be able to post to your own feed, and you will be able to post to a user's feed you have connected to. To post to a user's feed that you aren't connected to their timeline will need to be defined as Public in their user settings.
  1. To post to a user’s timeline, first look for them under the People section in the left side navigation. Click on their name to open their timeline.


  2. Alternatively, you can also find a user via the Members icon in your timeline toolbar.


  3. Once on their timeline, click on Add Post and leave a comment or assign a task as you would in a discussion stream.


Viewing a Post's Thread

To view a post’s thread that is visible in your timeline, simply click on the Reply button. This will bring up the Activity Stream displaying the thread.




Replying to a Post

Users may reply to a post they view on their timeline feed. This could be a comment posted specifically on their timeline or an event related to their connection’s activities.

  1. Click on the Reply button on the post.


  2. This will bring up the Activity Stream on the right side. Simply enter your reply and click on the send button.


  3. Your reply will appear on the timeline.
