      Overview

      The Recognition feed can be set up to publicly display Recognition. Whether that be a TV in a common area or online in your organization's intranet, learn how to display and celebrate your organization's Recognition activity. 

      Requirements

      • Available to full admin users

      Public Feed View Options

      When displaying a Recognition feed publicly, there are two visual options to choose from.

      Use the toggle in the top-left of the display to switch between the two Public Feed View options.

      Ticket Display View

      The Ticket Display view highlights a single instance of Recognition at a time on a 20-second interval. The display will cycle through the organization's 15 most recent Recognition posts.

      Card View

      The Card view displays a grid of the most recent Recognition posts on a 30-second refresh interval. The number of posts displayed varies according to the size of the display screen.

      Access Recognition Public Feed URLs

      As an admin, to access the URLs for the Recognition Public Feed:

      1. Click and expand Administration in the left-hand navigation menu
      2. Click Recognition
      3. Identify the Public Feed Views column on the right-hand side of the screen
      4. Click the quick-copy icon corresponding to the Ticket Display or Card View fields to copy the view's URL

      Set Up a Public Recognition Display

      Use the URLs for either view option in the Public Feed Views section to set up a public Recognition display.

      If you need to refresh the Public Feed URL, click Request New Security Key, in the Public Feed Views section.

      Set Up a Public Recognition Display on a TV or Common-Area Display

      Note: Publicly displaying Recognition requires a display that is capable of connecting to the internet or connecting to an internet-enabled device. 

      As a non-admin user, contact your organization's admin(s) to receive the Public Feed URL.

      To set up a public Recognition display on a TV or common-area display:

      1. Access and copy the Public Feed URL
      2. Enter the Public Feed URL into the internet browser on the TV or common-area display

      Set Up a Public Recognition Stream on an Intranet (via an iFrame)

      Organizations using intranet software, i.e. SharePoint, Confluence, etc. may opt to set up an iFrame widget to display Recognition within the intranet software.

      Most intranets allow iFrame widgets to display external content from the internet. While details may differ, the fundamentals of configuring an iFrame remain the same.

      To set up a public Recognition stream on an intranet:

      1. Create an iFrame widget on your intranet software
        • If necessary, set the height and width attributes via HTML
      2. Point the iFrame to the Public Feed URL

      For SharePoint users, when the Recognition display refreshes, the view will take over the entire site. To avoid this, add the following to the Public Feed URL, TVNoRfresh, such that the URL resembles the following: https://goalpost.quantumworkplace.com/Recognition/TVNoRefresh?key=[YourKeyHere].

      The Recognition board needs to be manually refreshed and can only be used with the Recognition Public Feed.

      Set Up a Public Recognition Display Without a Public Feed URL

      If you don't have access to the Recognition Public Feed URL, you can still set up a full-screen display of the Recognition feed. 

      This method displays Recognition in the Card view. 

      To set up a Recognition display without a Public Feed URL:

      1. Click Recognition in the left-hand navigation menu
      2. Click Full Screen in the top-right

      Apply Filters to the Recognition Public Feed

      Organizations that use custom employee demographics can apply a filter to reflect the filtered subset of Recognition.

      To apply a filter to the Recognition Public Feed:

      1. Add &filters=[Group]=[Name] to the end of the Recognition Public Feed URL
        • [Group] refers to the demographic group, i.e. Location, Department, etc.
        • [Name] referees to the demographic name, i.e. Dallas, Sales, etc.
        • Example: A Public Feed filtered to display Recognition for those in the Dallas office resembles the following, [Public Field URL]&filters=location=dallas
      2. Optionally, use the following icon, |, to separate additional filters
        • Example: [Public Feed URL]&filters=location=dallas|department=sales

       

      If your demographic group or name contains special characters, you might need to replace them in your URL. The following are a few common special characters and their equivalent:

      • Spaces in URLs can be represented with, %20, e.g. Client Success can be written in the URL as client%20success
      • Ampersands in URLs can be represented with, %26, e.g. R&D can be written in the URL as &filters=department=r%26d
