Use feeds in Live Feed

Feeds allow users to create focused discussions in Live Feed.

Live feed includes different types of feeds. The user who creates a group or record feed becomes the feed administrator. This user configures the access level for the feed:

  • Public: any user can see the name on the list of all feeds, view the feed, and join it. Messages appear on the company feed with a link to the public feed.
  • Private: any user can see the name on the list of all feeds, but only invited members can view the feed and join. Messages do not appear on the company feed.

Note: The concept of groups changed in Live Feed v2.

  • Create a group feed
    Group feeds are created by users so that members with similar interests can find that information in one place. Individual users or teams can join group feeds.
  • Create record feeds
    When a user views a record on a table that has Live Feed enabled, such as the Incident [incident] table, the user can click the Show Live Feed button at the top of the form to automatically create a record feed.
  • Control how Live Feed is enabled for records
    A property called glide.ui.show_live-feed_activity controls whether Live Feed is automatically enabled for all records.
  • View the activity stream in record feeds
    When you view record feeds, Live Feed displays the activity stream for the document.
  • Participate in a feed
    When you join a feed, you become a feed member.
  • Mark a feed as a favorite
    Top-level messages in feeds can be marked as favorites on a per user basis only.
  • View a feed
    You have several options for viewing a feed.
  • View a feed member
    View a specific member of a group feed.
  • Invite a new member to a group feed
    The feed administrator can invite another user or a group to join a feed.
  • Invite a new member to a record feed
    The feed administrator can invite another user or a team to join a record feed.
  • Remove a member from a feed
    The feed administrator can remove any member from the feed.
  • Subscribe to a feed
    Direct members of a feed can subscribe and unsubscribe to the feed in order to receive email notifications whenever any activity in the feed occurs, such as new messages being posted, replies, likes, polls, and @mentions.
  • Navigate between Live Feed and other modules
    If you are participating in a feed and navigate to another module, when you return to Live Feed it displays the feed you were previously viewing if it is public or if it is a private feed that you are a member of.
  • Leave a feed
    Members can choose to leave a group feed.
  • Delete a feed
    If you are a feed administrator, you can delete the feed.
