The Updates widget is your go-to widget to see all activity within your System or Initiative
The activity tracked here includes:

Idea Comments
Idea Votes
Profile Edits
First Check-Ins to Sites
New Blog Posts

The Updates widget can be customized to exclude certain content on the System level.
The following different options can be leveraged under Options:
The values need to be semi-colon (;) separated with no spaces.
Exclude Ideas --> exclude_idea=yes
Exclude Blog Posts --> exclude_blog=yes
Exclude Status Updates --> exclude_status=yes
Exclude Comments --> exclude_comments=yes
Exclude Votes --> exclude_votes=yes
Exclude Profile Updates --> exclude_profile=yes
Exclude New Registrant Notifications --> exclude_register=yes
Exclude Updates --> exclude_tworks=yes
Exclude Blog Comments --> exclude_blog_comments=yes
List Size --> results=10
This widget shows the 20 most recent updates within the System or Initiative.
Note: Updates widgets are respective to the System or Initiative level. The System-level widget will display System-wide updates, the Initiative-level widget will display updates for that specific Initiative.

Do we still need to contact our rep to have this widget modified? We'd like to not show first check-ins.

It would be nice if they were checkboxes instead of code! :)
After editing the widget, refresh the page to have it take effect

Kathy, try the "exclude_register=yes;" to hide first check-ins.

Hi, is it possible to 'reset' the updates widget - so that it shows no webstorm activity. This would be useful for when we are verifying everything works in a 'pre-launch' stage, and then want it to look clean when launched.
Cheers,

Hi Andy,
There is no functionality to reset the updates widget. However, if you delete the activity (e.g. test ideas), it will clear out the data related to that idea.
Best,

Hi - similar style question. When using the "Enterprise campaign list widget" - is it possible to exclude certain campaigns from the list using the widget 'options'? Please advise.

Hi Andrew,
Unfortunately, there is no such option for that specific widget.
Thank you,

Is it possible to pin a message to the top?

how does the admin add the 'post update to activity feed' widget? so that users can post updates (like an FB status)

Hi, is it possible with the activity feed widget options to exclude 'idea updates'? I notice the option exclude_tworks=yes - but i don't think this is correct.

This now works on the webstorm level. https://support.brightidea.com/entries/27608098-Brightidea-Product-Release-Notes-October-16th-2013
If you just want to see status updates from participants:
Add this to the 'options' portion of the 'Updates' widget:
exclude_idea=yes;exclude_blog=yes;exclude_comments=yes;exclude_votes=yes;exclude_profile=yes;exclude_register=yes;exclude_blog_comments=yes
After editing the widget, refresh the page to have it take effect
