Idea. Ability to Create Group and Private Timeline Entries.

Related products: None

With the recent update to allow @Mention in Timeline, it's allowing our users to move away from Chatter. However, in many cases we're running into snags - as our users really enjoy the features of Chatter.





1. The Ability to Create Groups. In many cases we've created Groups for our Executve Team or some of the Sub-Departments within our main Department to make it easier to tag multiple people at once. Some of the groups were Private, so only those with the permission could view those entries. Which ties into the second 'feature'.





2. The Ability to Create Private Entries. While it's not a straight forward feature, our work around was creating a Group with only the requesting user, so their post would remain private. [I did find request for this ask already, https://community.gainsight.com/conversations/private-timeline-posts-5bc73e1ee4b04588aaf86fac - but wanted to create one post with both asks.]





Thank you!



Hi Sagan,





Both of these are very valid use-cases and are on our roadmap. Though these may not be available in short term. I will keep you posted as we have more clarity on ETA.





Thanks,

Another vote here for the ability to @ mention groups in addition to individuals.
