Create and Configure a Chatter Feed

You can create a new instance of Chatter on any page in the site. This instance will not capture chatter from other user feeds, but begin afresh. Practical applications include creating a chatter feed for a project or group that does not require site-wide visibility.

To Create a New Chatter Feed:

  • Navigate to the page (or create a new page!) on which the Chatter feed is to be placed.
  • Place the home page into edit/compose mode (click on the Layout Manager button to open the Layout Manager Palette).
  • Locate the Chatter element on the Layout Manager Palette.
  • Click, hold and drag the Chatter item to a desired location on the page, then release the mouse button.
  • In the resulting dialog box, click Create New.
  • Complete resource details/information and provide permissions in the resulting dialog box.
  • Click Save, and, if warranted, Close the dialog box. 

To Configure a New Chatter Feed:

  • Navigate to the page on which the Chatter feed is rendered.
  • Place the home page into edit/compose mode (click on the Layout Manager button to open the Layout Manager Palette).
  • Click the setting  icon to access the feed’s settings
  • Adjust settings (enable comments, enable attachments/configure attachment size maximum).
  • Click Save to complete the configuration.
  • You can change the viewing permissions on any Chatter social feed on the site.
