Use the Recommendations app on the Home page
Use the Recommendations app to find content from the different applications that might interest you. The app displays in the side column of the activity stream views.
The Recommendations app suggests content that might interest you based on the existing community membership, network connections, tags, and so on. The app displays a randomized list of public and private content that has been recently added or updated in the different applications. The recommendations made are based on the relationship with existing public and private content. An icon next to each recommended item identifies which application the content is associated with. The app displays 15 recommendations by default.
| Icon | Application |
|---|---|
| Activities |
| Blogs |
| Bookmarks |
| Communities |
| | Files |
| Forums |
| Wikis |
The Recommendations app also provides information about the ways in which we are already connected to the content listed. For example, we can click the related tags link to see what tags you have in common with the suggested content. The tags displayed are tags associated with the recommended content and also associated with you in some way.
The Recommendations app only recommends content, it does not recommend people. Use the Do You Know app on the My Network page in Profiles to get suggestions for people to add to your network.
Use the Recommendations app in the following ways.
- If an item interests you, click the title to open the item and take a closer look.
- Click the links under the items listed to find out more about how we are connected to that item. We can view related tags or related people to find out what you have in common with the recommended content.
- Use the Previous and Next links to page through the recommendations and display more options.
- To remove an item from the list of recommendations, click the
icon next to the item.
