October 11, 2016 |
Delivered This idea has 55 votes as of May 8, 2017. It addresses big functionality gap. (See https://ideas.sap.com/D37764.) We delivered Manage Tag Subscriptions functionality in the profile in October 2017. Read more in this post: https://answers.sap.com/articles/383192/status-update-manage-tag-subscriptions-from-one-lo.html |
Email notifications |
Add email notifications from Activity Stream |
During beta (prior to October 2016) |
Accepted There is a similar idea on the radar – email notification for new questions and blogs from followed primary tags |
Notification options |
Add the ability to choose which notifications you’d like to receive and how (e.g., mobile vs. email) |
During beta (prior to October 2016) |
Accepted (partially) On our radar but not a priority. The “How” part is implemented partially as users can “choose” whether they would like to receive email notifications or not. In the future if we can add text-based notifications, then we will probably consider that as well. The functionality that is being requested will only enhance the user experience. It does not necessarily fill any gap that we have now. Once we have more notifications of other types (such as new content notifications, etc.), then this need for users to “manage” which notifications they receive to increase. And that is probably when this feature will be refined. |
Activity stream |
Give users the ability to group the Activity Stream by thread, activity type, tag, etc. |
October 10, 2016 |
Accepted 25 votes as of May 25, 2017 Should be implemented along with ideas https://ideas.sap.com/D37707 and https://ideas.sap.com/D40252 (which is partially accepted). |
More notification options |
Enable the sending of notifications of ALL activity in a question to everyone related to that question
|
October 10, 2016 |
Accepted As of May 8, 2017, this was the highest-rated idea in Idea Place -- with 72 votes. (See https://ideas.sap.com/D37707.) This also shares features with other ideas We have implemented part of this idea so we should address the remaining gaps. Further delivery is tentatively planned for Q3. (See also https://ideas.sap.com/D40036.) |
Activity stream |
Allow users to follow questions via the Activity Stream |
October 12, 2016 |
Accepted (partially delivered) Even though this idea (https://ideas.sap.com/D37820) only had 6 votes, it was delivered in Q2 2017 -- as this functionality was part of broader improvements. Users can use the filters available in their followed activities to narrow down the activities that they see. They can click on the primary tag filter to show activities related to only one primary tag that they follow. They can then click on the "Question and Answer" filter to only filter questions, answers, and comments from a particular primary tag. This should help them isolate activities that interest them. |
Email notifications |
Provide email notifications for new content (blogs or questions) from user tag subscriptions |
October 17, 2016 |
Accepted This idea has 58 votes as of May 8, 2017 -- and other ideas have similar requests for email notifications (some of which has been provided). (See https://ideas.sap.com/D37929.) Idea addresses big functionality gap. Not sure if this feature will live on Activity Stream or Universal Profile In this case, this is currently a big functionality gap and the idea is accepted. Delivery is tentatively planned for Q3. Please note that this idea is the same as https://ideas.sap.com/D38361 and similar to https://ideas.sap.com/D38075. So the status here applies to all. (See also https://ideas.sap.com/D37968.) |
Following |
Add list of all content I’m following & “stop following” functionality in Activity Stream |
During beta (prior to October 2016) |
Under review "Stop following" idea under consideration but needs prioritization |
Notifications page |
Add new features to improve the page (see status for more information) |
October 10, 2016 |
Under review With 24 votes as of June 6, 2017, the idea (https://ideas.sap.com/D37711) consists of four parts (which may have different decisions):
|
Language filter |
Include a language filter in the Activity Stream for followed tags |
October 11, 2017 |
Under review This idea has 14 votes as of May 5, 2017 (https://ideas.sap.com/D37776), but it is not a priority as of that date. At a later time in the community when users have a large number of primary tag subscriptions such filters can be helpful. Currently users do not follow primary tags from other languages. This feature will allow them to venture out (giving them the peace of mind that they can still filter such second languages out from their streams if need be). In short, this remains under review. |
Fiori solution |
Replace Activities and Notifications using a Fiori/SAPUI5 based Master - Detail structure |
January 27, 2017 |
Under review As of May 8, 2017, this was the second highest-rated idea in Idea Place -- with 66 votes. (See https://ideas.sap.com/D40252.) Idea won't be implemented with the suggested solution. We will not use Fiori to build such an implementation. We will, however, be implementing the functionality that is being requested through the idea itself -- with a tentative target of Q3. (See also https://ideas.sap.com/D40831.) |
Overview page |
Provide a configurable overview page with content I can subscribe to |
March 29, 2017 |
Under review This idea (https://ideas.sap.com/D41643) has 10 votes. It's similar to https://ideas.sap.com/D37764, but requests for follow list of all content (not just primary tags). It is under review and possibly planned for the second half of 2017. |
Additional filter |
Add a filter in activity stream to show not-answered questions only |
October 20, 2016 |
Acknowledged This idea (https://ideas.sap.com/D38076) has 13 votes as of August 26, 2017. We agree that additional filters required, but not in the manner and place suggested here. |
Updates |
Update activities (Activity Stream and Notifications) so they are usable and useful |
October 20, 2016 |
Acknowledged With 11 votes as of June 6, 2017, this idea (https://ideas.sap.com/D38059) consists of several parts -- all of which are acknowledged. It is difficult to address as a single idea, and the items have been addressed through other ideas. Therefore, it is not rejected, nor is it fully implemented. We'll leave as under consideration until a time that the poster feels that all items have been addressed. |
Icons |
Add icons to indicate types of activity (comments, blog posts, questions answered, direct messages, etc.) |
During beta (prior to October 2016) |
Not planned |
Marking notifications |
Introduce functionality so that after marking Notification as READ it disappears from the list |
October 11, 2016 |
Not planned (Idea should be considered when we develop Notifications filters. Currently the plan is to not to implement as described in the idea. We can implement a filter in the Notification service that filters read/unread items. This would meet the requirement without having to create two separate notification streams (one with read stuff and one with unread stuff as requested in the idea). More information about the idea at https://ideas.sap.com/D37768. It has 29 votes as of May 8, 2017. |
Notification counter |
Make sure the Notifications counter is always visible |
October 11, 2016 |
Not planned (exactly as requested) The idea (https://ideas.sap.com/D37785) has 8 votes. The notification counter only shows number of new notifications. A separate counter has been implemented inside the notification service that shows the number of unread notifications. We are not considering showing the total number of notifications at all times without updating. |
Items loaded into activity stream |
Add functionality to load more items in activity stream automatically |
October 18, 2016 |
Not planned |
View optimization |
Allow user parameters in profile to optimize view experience of activities (to change column width) |
October 18, 2016 |
Not planned The idea (https://ideas.sap.com/D37988) has 10 votes as of June 6, 2017. We will not be considering such functionality for the activity stream services that allows users to modify the container widths. However, we have made big changes to the Activity Stream since this idea has been posted and have been able to decrease white space greatly. We have also been able to increase the number of activities shown per page from 10 to 20. |
RSS feed |
Add an RSS feed for Activity Stream |
January 30, 2017 |
Not planned This idea (https://ideas.sap.com/D40277) has 6 votes as of June 6, 2017. Such an implementation is outside the scope of the improvements that we are making to the Activity Stream and Notification topics. Once more pressing issues and functionality gaps are met, we can then consider such enhancements. For now, the Activity Stream by itself is supposed to be a form/variation of an RSS feed. |

Reputation for blogs

December 15, 2016 |
Accepted (partially) While this idea (https://ideas.sap.com/D39536) had negative votes, it was accepted -- to the extent we will be recognizing quality blog contributions via missions and the reputation score, once the full reputation program is rolled out. We do not, however, plan to use karma credits or points to recognize blog contributions. Karma credits are an embedded party of the Q&A platform and limited to the content types and quality indicators of that platform. |
