Yammer

Properties

You can configure the app using the following properties:

Property Explanation
Yammer account The Yammer account you like to access Yammer with.
Only in group Optionally, you can set the app to only show messages in a specific group. This list is limited to 50 groups. If the group you are looking for is not included, use the ... or in group with ID instead.
... or in group with ID It the list of groups does not include the group you are looking for, use this field to fill in the ID of the group of which you like to show the messages. See the paragraph below on how to find this group ID.
Number of replies (Only when style is set to "Callout") Select the maximum number of replies you like to see above the message callout.
Show what messages? (Only when style is set to "Callout" or "Polaroid") Configure what messages should be shown every time the app is shown again:
  • All recent (rotating): starting from the newest available message, it always advances to the next message. When the oldest is reached, it starts with the newest again.
  • Latest: always only show the latest message
  • Latest - 1: always only show the second to latest message
  • Latest - X: etc.
Maximum age of messages The messages on your screen will never be older than what you select here.
Maximum number of messages The list of messages that is run through to show on your screen will never be longer than what you select here. The oldest messages are dropped to enforce this size limit. Please note: the "Maximum age of messages" is the appropriate property to ensure only recent messages are shown.
Style Select the display style you like:
  • Callout: a single message at a time as a callout bubble, without image
  • Polaroid: a single message at a time as a strip with a polaroid image (when an image is included)
  • Social wall: a collection of messages spread across multiple columns, including images (when an image is included)
Number of columns (Only when style is set to "Social wall") The number of columns to fill with messages.
Background color palette (Only when style is set to "Social wall") Choose up to three different colors to have the app randomly choose as background color of the individual messages. Also see our tips section about selecting and entering colors.
Skip page when this app is empty When enabled, the page this app is on will be skipped during playback when this app has no data to show.

And finally there are a number of generic app properties that you can configure that you'll find on many other elements as well.
