Manage The Social Feed Settings

The Social Feed is a place in the Social Workspace where users can post status updates and see news of their peers' activities.

You, as an Academy Admin, are able to limit which information posts to the feed, or you can completely disable it.

Navigation

In the left navigation, make sure you are in the Social Workspace.

 

When in the Social Workspace, select Settings.

Social Workspace, Settings

Open the settings for the Feed.

Social Feed Settings

Ιf you want to enable the Feed feature for your academy, just turn the relevant toggle to yes! Once you enable the Feed feature for your academy, users will be able to access it from the social workspace.

You can now define what will be visible on the Feed. Feed posts can also be set to be approved by an admin (prior to the publishment). The following settings are available for you to define:

1) All posts require approval by Admin to become public
You can choose to have control over what the users post. By enabling this setting, each post on the Feed will not be posted until an admin approves it. Admins will receive an email notification about every post that needs their approval. Once they review the post, the user that posted it will also get a notification about the post's status.

2) Hide auto-generated posts
You can decide how the auto-generated posts should be handled. Apart from the posts that the members of an academy want to share, Schoox also generates some automated wall posts, when one of the following actions takes place:

If you do not want these auto-generated posts to be visible, just click on the relevant "Hide auto-generated posts" box.

If you want to allow only some of these posts to be generated, check or uncheck the checkbox next to the option.

3) Allow reactions and comments on auto-generated posts 
If this option is selected, members will be able to comment on the auto-generated posts that were mentioned above. If auto-generated posts are hidden this option is disabled.

4) Allow team members to edit their posts

If this option is checked, then anyone that can post on the Feed will be able to edit their own posts or comments.

5) Users can see wall posts coming from only their brand

If this option is checked, users can only see posts from other users within their brand.
