Finding Users and Groups and Following their Feeds
You can look for colleagues or groups to find interesting contacts and information and follow their feeds.
To find users and groups and follow their feeds:
1. Type the name of the user or the group in the global find box at the top right. The search results are displayed dynamically. Continue typing characters until the relevant user or group is displayed.
2. Click the name you are looking for.
The profile of the user or the group is displayed with all posts.
3. Do one of the following:
For users and public groups, click
Follow.
For private groups, click
Send request.
Private groups are marked with a padlock icon.
When you follow users, you have access to the posts that they publish in their feeds. In private groups, a coordinator needs to confirm your request before you are allowed access to this group's posts, comments, and so on. In public groups you have immediate access to the group. The feeds you follow are displayed under My feed and the groups you follow under Groups. To stop following a user or group, click Unfollow in the user or group profile.
Users who are following your feeds are displayed under Followers in your profile.
Tip:
To find groups, you can also use the group search function (
Groups > Find groups). Alternatively, you can display the profile of another user to find out which groups that user belongs to.
You can also use the global search to search for keywords, in order to find interesting feeds, users, and groups.
