User Profile
The User Profile panel is displayed on the left of all the Timeline tabs.
1. Profile Image - The user can upload an image of themselves to display here, to make identification easier.
2. Full Name - This is the full name of the user, as defined in their settings.
3. Job Title - The user can specify their job title in their settings.
4. User Description - This area can be populated with a small blurb about the user. Defined in their settings, this is an optional field.
5. Number of User Connections - This displays the number of users someone is connected to and following in their timeline. This is not the number of users following this individual.
6. Number of Discussion Topics - This displays the number of discussions the user is involved in or following.
7. Number of Favourite Content - This the number of items specified as a favourite.
8. Filter Timeline - Allows the user to search the events displayed on a timeline.
Posting to a Timeline
The Timeline feed allows you to post comments or updates on a user's timeline, much like the way you would post in a discussion group. You will always be able to post to your own feed, and you will be able to post to a user's feed you have connected to. To post to a user's feed that you aren't connected to their timeline will need to be defined as Public in their user settings.
