    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! :)

    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

    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.

    Please advise.

    Cheers,
    Andy
