Overview On the Timeline feed there are a range of different events displayed. To view a full list of events and scenarios, see the  Timeline Events  page. While on a Timeline feed you will be able to: View events relating to a user and content Open content referred to in events Post Comments, Updates, Opportunities, and Issues View comment threads Respond to comment threads Accessing the Timeline If you are using the Modern Menu navigation option, access your own timeline by clicking on Activity in the top menu bar. In the sub-menu, select Timeline if it is not already selected by default. If you are using legacy left hand-side navigation, click on your user name, then click on Timeline to open your Timeline page. Filtering Timeline Option Description Search This search allows the user to narrow down the events they see in their feed, in order to locate specific posts or pieces of content. Post Type This option allows the users to specify which type of posts they see in their feed, from; Tasks Discussion Streams Proposals Decisions Priority This option allows the user to specify the items they see based on the priority assigned to them: All Low Medium High Status This option allows the user to specify the items they see based on their current status: All Assigned In Progress / Discussion Stream Review / Proposal Complete Rejected Favorite Flag This option allows the user to restrict the items they are seeing just to ones they have marked as favorite or "flagged". Reset This option allows the user to clear all the above items, resetting their timeline feed to show everything. Connections This option opens the  Connections  panel on the right of the screen, allowing the user to explore people they are connected to in the system and to establish new connections. Opening Content While viewing events in the Timeline feed, you will be able to open pieces of content listed. Simply click on a content thumbnail to open outside of the Timeline. Open content in new tab If you have the  Multi-Tab Support configuration  setting enabled on your system, click on the menu icon of an event card in the Timeline page, or simply right-click on the content thumbnail or any link in the card. Options to open the content in the current or a new tab will be presented. Note that event cards of some content might not have this menu, in which case you can use the right-click method to open it. 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 . 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. Alternatively, you can also find a user via the  Members  icon in your timeline toolbar. 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. Click on the Reply button on the post. This will bring up the Activity Stream on the right side. Simply enter your reply and click on the send button. Your reply will appear on the timeline.
