Designing Activity and Custom Pages for Places

Overview

To customize a space, group, or project with a preconfigured set of content options, you can use your Activity page as the landing page and then apply a place template.

This article provides information regarding designing Activity pages which fully applies to Custom pages as well.

Information

An Activity page shows a real-time activity stream of updates happening in the place, such as status updates and replies to content.

Place templates are the starting point for setting up an Activity page: each template contains an activity stream, plus a configurable group of tiles that reflect common collaboration goals. When you edit an existing place, create a group, start a project, or create a new space, you can choose from a list of pre-designed place templates. You need to quickly set up a few essential tiles to start collaborating in reality-tested environments such as:

• An Event Planning place for organizing the material for an upcoming event.
• A Vendor Collaboration place for partnering with external talent.
• A private Pre-Hire Collaboration place for discussing potential job candidates.

When you use a place template, you can add or remove any tiles and move them around within the layout. Tiles are visual building blocks of information. They may dynamically pull data either from your Jive installation or a third-party service. They may also be configured with the information you have hand-selected.
