The My ELO work area is on the start page when you run ELO. From here, you can access the main areas of the ELO repository using tiles.

Information: Most functions in the My ELO work area relate to the feed function. You can find additional information about this function in the Feed section above.

The tile navigation area is explained in more detail in another part of this manual ( Program interface chapter). This section only deals with ELO collaboration functions.

1 News: Feed posts from different entries are displayed in the News area. This applies to feeds such as those that a user has subscribed to or in which they are mentioned by another user. Escalated or recently started workflows that are relevant for the user are also shown in this work area.

Information: If no posts appear in the My ELO work area, check your filter settings. There may be no posts for the selected period (under New since).

Minimized window

If the preview pane in My ELO is not large enough to show workflow information, the Show current hashtags, Show workflows, and Show filter options buttons will appear. The elements are briefly described in the following. Refer to the following sections of this chapter for more information.

Show current hashtags: Clicking Show current hashtags shows the hashtag cloud (see above) with the most recent hashtags.

Show filter options: Click Show filter options to display the filters for My ELO above the feed posts.

Mark as important

The Mark as important button (flag icon) lets you pin a post to the My ELO area. The post remains visible in the My ELO area even if it is more than one month old. You can recognize posts that are marked as important by the red flag icon.

Delete marker

Delete the marker you added to a post with the Mark as important button (red flag icon). As soon as the post is more than a month old, it will no longer be displayed in the My ELO work area.

Hide post

You can hide a post in the My ELO work area by clicking the Remove from My ELO button.

Information: The Remove from My ELO function does not delete a post from a feed.

Alternatively: To hide all posts in My ELO, use the Remove all posts from My ELO function. This function is in My ELO > Settings > My ELO settings.

Information: Posts marked as important are not removed.

After you have hidden a post, you can restore it by clicking the Undo button.

Information: The Undo button disappears by default after five seconds. You can edit this option under Number of seconds to display the "Undo" button before it disappears. This option is in My ELO > Settings > My ELO settings.
