### **Upcoming Birthdays Widget**

The **Upcoming Birthdays** widget provides filtering options to help users view specific data regarding upcoming colleagues birthdays. Birthdays can be filtered based on two criteria:

* **People You Follow**: This allows you to see the upcoming birthdays of only those users whom you are following on the platform.
* **Everyone**: See the birthdays of all users across the organization.
* **Users with matching profile field**: Displays upcoming birthdays for users whose selected profile field matches that of the currently logged-in user, based on the chosen option from the dropdown menu.

This feature is especially useful for larger organizations, where seeing the birthdays of everyone may feel overwhelming. By selecting the filter, users can focus on celebrating birthdays that are relevant to their immediate network.
