The news feed is a tool allowing you to publish various communications to your staff. News feed threads can contain attachments like PDFs, photos, and spreadsheets that will remain available as long as you don't archive the thread or put an end date to it.

Important: Only administrators, managers, and supervisors can create a thread on the news feed.


Creating a thread

  1. Click on News feed from the left navigation menu.

  2. Click Create a thread.

  3. Give your thread a title and choose your audience:

    • Choose by location or position (all or select).

    • Choose specific employees.

  4. Write your message and, if necessary, include any attachments and photos.

  5. Determine when you'd like the thread to be published, and whether it should have an end date.

  6. Determine which category to classify the thread in (select all that apply):

    • Announcements.

    • Internal policies.

    • Training.

    • A custom category. Refer to this article on how to manage these.

  7. Select whether to activate one of the following options:

    • Pin the thread, so it will always appear at the top of the thread list.

    • Allow employees to comment.

    • Require confirmation. See this article for more details.

  8. Click Publish thread to post.
