Configuring the domain-wide settings for Posts
Last updated
The Posts module empowers you to disseminate updates to the entire organization or target specific teams, facilitating the sharing of company news, employee spotlights, sales victories, and success stories.
Network administrators have the capability to modify the system's default label and other domain-wide settings within the Posts module.
UI Options: This option allows you to customize the appearance of post description cards within the posts module. Choose between fixed height post cards vs content based variable height post cards. You also have the option to between black vs white background for the card area that displays the post title, author, reactions & views.
This setting controls the visual appearance of a post when it shows up on a newsfeed. Choose between:
Thumbnail, which retains the current view of the post’s featured image, title, and summary
Responsive, which introduces a larger, responsive layout with the featured image displayed up to 765 x 475px in size.
The responsive option ensures the featured image adjusts to the width of the page, appearing prominently with post titles and summaries, while smaller images are centered within the designated space.
On the user portal side, if Thumbnail is chosen, posts will showcase a post using the layout with smaller featured images, titles, and summaries.
If Responsive is selected, the feed displays larger images or videos in a responsive layout, ensuring maximum visibility on both fixed-width and full-width sites.
For mobile and tablet users, the view adapts to device dimensions while following the admin-defined configuration.
Posts without a featured image will omit the image area. All elements, including titles and summaries, will appear in a vertical order for improved readability. Responsive will retain all markdown syntax from the post within this preview.
