Feed Compact

Use the Feed Compact component to add a compact, scannable version of a feed to an object. Object types that take a compact feed include a record, a topic, a group, a user profile, or an overall site discussion. Feed Compact only shows questions in a feed, and is only recommended if the only feed type used is a question. The component provides a chronological list of questions made with the Feed Publisher component.

1. Select the Feed Compact component in the page you're configuring.
2. In the property editor, configure the properties for the component.

   Property	Details
   Show Views	Select to show the number of times an item is viewed . A view is counted when an item is liked, commented on, or its detail view is opened. Clear to hide the view count.
   Show Likes	Select to show the number of likes for each post. Clear to hide the number of likes.
   Show Comments	Select to show the number of comments for each post. Clear to hide the number of comments.
   Compact Feed Type	Select the object or context you want to associate this feed with. Discussion—Shows all questions tagged with a navigational topic, for example #Q4wins. Users don’t have to follow a navigational topic to see it in the discussion. And feed items that discuss the topic but don’t have the tag don’t appear in the discussion, even to users who follow the topic. Shared feed items appear in a Discussion feed only if the question posted with the shared item (the share message) includes the topic tag. Even if the shared item has a tag, it doesn’t appear in the feed if the tag isn’t included in the share message. Group or Record—Shows all questions created on a record or in a group. My Feed—Shows questions that are tagged with a topic, or person or record that you follow. My Feed also shows all questions related to your personal site activity. You see all shared feed items unless another person shared the item with a group that you aren't a member of. With public groups, you see the feed item that you shared despite not being a member. Topic—Shows all questions that are tagged with the topic. Shared questions appear in a Topic compact feed only if the message posted with the shared item (the share message) includes the topic tag (for example, #Q4wins). Even if the shared item has a tag, it doesn’t appear in the feed if the tag isn’t included in the share message. User Profile—Shows your personal site activity in terms of questions. Bookmarks—Shows questions that you bookmarked.
   Entity Id	The feed item ID. Typically, this field is automatically populated when the page loads. Leave this field blank if you pick the Discussion or My Feed options in Compact Feed Type. When you add the Compact Feed to a non-object page, such as a home page, the auto populated Entity ID displays only questions asked by the logged in user. If you want to display a full group or record or feed, change the Entity ID to the ID of the group or record you want to display.
   Default Sort Order	The default sort order on a feed. Presents site members and guests with the initial experience that you intend. If users change the sort order in their view, their selection sticks.

Example

Note Users who unfollow topics, users, or records stop seeing posts regarding those topics users or records from the time they unfollow. Older posts about those topics, users, or records are still visible on the feed.
