Using Filters in Your Newsfeed

The Newsfeed provides a real-time view of check-ins and updates within your organization. Use the available filters to quickly narrow down the activity feed to the most relevant information.

Accessing the Filters

The Newsfeed filters are available on both the Newsfeed widget (on a dashboard) and the dedicated Newsfeed page.

Available Filters and How They Work

Filter Name	Default State	Selection Type	Functionality	Key Notes/Tips
Department	None selected	Multi-select	Filters the Newsfeed to show check-ins submitted by users who belong to the selected department(s).	Check-ins include: CKR, LTKR, Team Objectives, and Individual Objectives.
Business Unit	None selected	Multi-select	Filters the Newsfeed to show check-ins submitted by users who belong to the selected business unit(s).	The previous option to "View by My Business Unit" has been removed.
Strategic Category	None selected	Multi-select	Filters the Newsfeed to show check-ins for Key Results (KRs) that are aligned to the children within the selected strategic category (or categories).	This is useful for monitoring progress on initiatives tied to specific corporate strategies.

How to Use the Filters

Locate the Filter Section: Find the filter options on the left most section on the Newsfeed interface.
Select a Filter: Click on the dropdown menu for the desired filter (e.g., Department, Business Unit, or Strategic Category).
Choose Selections: Since all filters support multi-select, you can check the boxes next to multiple items within that list (e.g., "Marketing," "Sales," and "HR").
Once your selections are made, the Newsfeed will automatically update to reflect the filtered activity and check-ins.
Clear Filters: To reset your view, return to the filter dropdowns and deselect the chosen items.

Tip: Using a combination of these filters will allow you to quickly focus on the progress of specific teams on objectives tied to particular corporate initiatives.
