Mobile App: Timeline & News

Our Haiilo mobile app is the app for you to distribute all company news to your employees. Besides the timeline, news is also an important channel. After opening the app, you can switch between the "Timeline" and "News" tabs at will. You can find out what's behind this in this article.

Configuration

The timeline and the news in your Haiilo mobile app are each bound to a right in the administration. To ensure that each of your users can fully use the app, you should allow access to both.

To do this, you need to edit the roles in your user administration according to your needs.

Timeline

The timeline tab shows the content of your personal timeline.

This is slightly different in the app compared to the browser view: You can see the number of "likes" and comments directly below the post. As usual, you can also react quickly here if you like the post. However, the comments only become visible when you click on the post or the comment function itself.

News

The News tab displays the published blog articles of your subscribed sites and communities.

Order

The default sorting of tabs within the Haiilo mobile app looks like this (if you have all the appropriate content enabled for the app):

  1. Timeline
  2. News
  3. Homepage/s

You can customize the order if needed. To do this, you need to perform the following steps via Haiilo's REST API interface:

  1. Login via API as super admin with activated moderator mode
  2. GET request for "HAIILO_DOMAIN/api/settings" to get all current settings as .json body
  3. Copy the .json body with all current settings
  4. Inserts one of these two values at the end of the copied settings if...
    1. you want the timeline tab to be displayed at the end of the order
      1. "mobileTimelineTabButtonAtEnd": "true",
    2. you want the news tab to be displayed at the end of the order
      1. "mobileNewsTabButtonAtEnd": "true",
  5. PUT request to "HAIILO_DOMAIN/api/settings" with the customized .json body

Be sure to include the appropriate commas at the end of the two values.
