Filtering the Main Stream

Filtering the Main Stream


Just beneath the post box on the Main Stream, you’ll see three drop-down menus that allow you to filter the posts you see in the Main Stream. The first menu has three options: 


All Communities:  This view shows all Main Stream posts, including those shared to the Main Stream from Communities. 


All My Communities: This view shows all of the posts that have been shared to the Main Stream from any of the Communities of which you are a member.


Community-Specific Posts: Click on a Community name from the filter menu to see Main Stream posts exclusively from that Community. 


Once you’ve selected your Community filter, you can also filter by student groups or organizations depending on whether you’re a student or a teacher. Posts are filtered automatically as you select your filters.
