Additional widgets

This article briefly outlines other common widgets available on the platform.

Suggested pages widget

The Suggested Pages widget promotes manually selected public pages. Admins choose which and how many pages are displayed. Users only see pages they aren't yet subscribed to, and they can visit a page by selecting it in the list. Pages are sorted alphabetically.

Suggested communities widget

The Suggested Communities widget promotes manually selected public communities. Admins can select up to 50 communities to display in the widget and arrange them using drag-and-drop. Users only see communities they aren't yet members of, and they can join a community by selecting the + icon.

Online users widget

The Online users widget shows the number of unique users with an active WebSocket connection. If you select the displayed number of users, you are forwarded to the Colleagues list with the Availability filter automatically set to display Online users.

The Online filter on the Colleagues list shows the users who have an active WebSocket connection and have set their status to Online. As a result, the number of users on the overview page can sometimes be lower than those within the widget.

Welcome widget

The Welcome widget displays a short greeting message followed by the user's name and avatar. You decide the message that is shown, e.g., "Welcome to Haiilo!". You can also choose to display the user's set cover image in the welcome box. If the user has no cover image, a white background is shown instead.

We recommend using the widget on a homepage that new users see when they join the platform. This will allow them to be warmly welcomed to your platform.

Complete profile widget

The Complete profile widget displays a list of six actions that a user should take to complete a so-called onboarding journey. Actions that have been completed are marked with a green checkmark, and actions that have yet to be completed are marked with a red X. You can decide the title for the widget to guide your users on what to do.

When a user completes all six actions, the widget disappears for them, as they have completed all actions and, hence, their profile. The "Post something on your wall" action means the user posts something on any timeline element.

We recommend using the widget on a homepage that new users see when they join the platform. This will help them get started with your platform.

Do you know? widget

The Do you know? widget makes it easy to get to know new colleagues on your platform and expand your network, even outside of your department. The widget can display up to three randomly selected users. When creating the widget, you can specify which user group's users should be displayed. The Reload sign refreshes your suggestions.

You cannot see the widget if:

  • You already follow all of your colleagues in the company, or
  • You don't follow anyone in the company yet

New colleagues widget

The New colleagues widget shows you all the new users you have not followed yet and who were created within the last 30 days. When creating the widget, you can specify which user group's users should be displayed.

The widget's suggestions are sorted chronologically by the date the users were created. The newest colleagues appear at the top. You are first shown three colleagues. Using the three dots at the bottom of the widget, you can load more colleagues. Once you follow a colleague from the list, they are no longer shown to you.
