Hide the Activity Stream

I've seen this posted before, but wanted to post again... is there any reason why we can't hide or move the Activity Stream? You can do it with any of the other Apps, which is great, but this seems to be the final frontier in terms of personalising the dashboard. I've been using Podio for a few months now and never actually had any use from the Activity Stream!

The only way I can see it being useful is if you could fully customise what appears on it: for me, I essentially would just want tasks, statuses, and maybe events from the calendar. (But I have those on my home page anyway!)

I can unsubscribe from everything, but then the whole left-hand side of my screen is wasted.

  Hi Jonny,

  Thanks for your input. As you know we are very much aware of the high demand for this and we're doing our best to figure out how the activity stream can be of the most value. As it is part of the current infrastructure of Podio it is a greater task to change it. I hope you understand.

  If you would like you can add your vote to this request here https://help.podio.com/hc/communities/public/questions/200754897-Activity-Stream-on-Workspace?locale=en-us

  Mette,

  This would really be a high priority feature for us as well. I don't understand why we cannot simply have the option to hide it or move the tile way down on the page.

  It's really taking too much space on the front page and cannot be moved around...

  I'd love my front page to be only a dashboard of tiles.

  Very best,
  Yacine

  Thank you Podio for the responsiveness and attention to detail. We really do find Podio valuable and I sing your praises.

  I am with the growing chorus of voices that would like to control how the activity stream "infiltrates" my dashboard. :) I use the word "infiltrate" there in good fun to help you understand how it impacts our experience using the app. It isn't that we se NO value in it, rather that it monopolizes an unjustifiable amount of attention on the dashboard in our opinion.

  If we could just hide it behind a toggle in the same spot I think that would be a win win.

  Best,

  BJ

  I support this feature request. I'd like the option to make it more narrow at the very least. Or to move it to the right side, and put my tiles on the left side.
