Manage community activities
After adding the Activities widget to the community, we can edit activity details, move or hide the widget, or remove it from the community if it is no longer needed.
You must be a community owner to edit community activities, or to hide, move, or remove the Activities widget. You must also be logged in to IBM Connections to perform these tasks.
To edit information about a community activity, such as the activity title, goal, tags, and so on, we must edit the activity in the Activities application. See Edit an activity.
Community owners cannot perform management tasks for any activities that have been shared with a community. Only the activity owner who shared the activity with the community can manage that activity.
If the community no longer uses activities, we can remove the Activities widget from the community, or we can hide it temporarily until it is needed again using the options available from the widget action menu.
To manage community activities, open the community and complete the following tasks as needed.
- To edit basic information about an activity, such as its title, goal, and tags, click the activity title to open it in Activities application. From there, select Activity Actions > Edit Activity to edit the activity. For more information on how to work with your activity, click the Help link in the Activities user interface.
- We can also perform the following widget management tasks by clicking the Actions icon
in the widget title bar and selecting from the menu that displays:
- To move the widget up or down the Overview page, choose Move Up or Move Down as appropriate.
- To hide the widget, choose Hide and confirm to temporarily remove the widget from the community.
Hide the Activities widget does not delete any activity content. When we are ready to continue using activities, select Community Actions > Add Apps to open the widget palette, click Hidden, and select Activities to restore the widget to the community. Any content previously added to the widget is restored.
- To permanently remove the widget, choose Remove and complete the form that displays to confirm to remove the widget.
Important: Choose this option permanently deletes any community activities. This content cannot be recovered once it is deleted. For activities that have been shared with the community, removing the Activities widget only removes community access. The activities still exist in the Activities application, but they are no longer shared with the community.
- To move the widget up or down the Overview page, choose Move Up or Move Down as appropriate.
To move an activity from a community to a subcommunity, open the community activity and complete the following steps.
- Click Activity Actions > Move Activity.
- On the Move Activity page, select the subcommunity to move the activity.
- Some people may lose access to the activity when we move it to a subcommunity because they are not members of that subcommunity. Select those people to add to the subcommunity so they continue to have access to the activity, and click OK.
To move an activity from a subcommunity back to its parent community, open the subcommunity activity and complete the following steps.
- Click Activity Actions > Move Activity.
- On the Move Activity page, select the parent community where the activity originated from and click OK. Everyone who had access to the activity in the subcommunity still has access after you move it.
To move an activity from a subcommunity to another subcommunity, open the subcommunity activity and complete the following steps.
- Click Activity Actions > Move Activity
- On the Move Activity page, select the subcommunity where the activity originated from and click OK.
- Some people may lose access to the activity when we move it to a subcommunity because they are not members of that subcommunity. Select those people to add to the subcommunity so they continue to have access to the activity, and click OK.
