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 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.
