Configure a trending content widget

You can configure a trending content widget to display digital workplace articles and wikis previews that have a high number of views during a specific time period.

Considerations

  • Access to content: Users can only see trending content from sites to which their group has the appropriate role and associated access permissions.
  • Number of views: The widget displays the unique number of views during the selected period of time. This number will vary from the unique total views shown when viewing the content. 

Who can do this?

  • Workplace administrators 
  • Site administrators

Set up

  1. In the Page Builder, select New Widget.
  2. From the Widget List, select the handlebars next to the trending content widget to drag and drop the widget into place on the Page Builder. See Widget placement on a page for more information on placing widgets on a page. 
  3. Select the placed widget's Edit button.
  4. Review and make changes to the settings in the Configuration side panel. See the Settings section below for more details. 
  5. In the Configuration side panel, select Save to apply your changes or Cancel to discard them.  
  6. At the top of the Page Builder, select Save Page to save your changes.
