Creating Topic-Specific Feeds Using Menu Navigation
The Menu section in Cadence allows you to create specialized navigation paths to topic-specific Live Feeds, helping attendees find relevant discussions more easily. By configuring custom menu items that link directly to specific feeds, you can organize conversations by department, interest area, or any other category while maintaining a clean navigation structure.
When to use
When organizing discussions by department or interest area
When you need separate conversation spaces for different topics
When creating specialized feeds for different regions or markets
When compliance requires certain content to be visible only to specific teams
You must have Event Manager or Administrator permissions to create topic-specific feeds and configure menu navigation.
How to do it
Navigate to your event in the Cadence admin dashboard.
Select Live Feed from the left navigation menu.
Click the Settings tab at the top of the page.
Select "Multiple Feed" as your feed structure option.
Multiple Feed mode is required to create topic-specific feeds with different visibility settings.
Click Save to apply the Multiple Feed setting.
Navigate to the "Feed" tab in the Live Feed section.
Click the "+" button to create a new feed.
Enter a descriptive name for your feed that clearly indicates its topic or purpose.
Use concise, descriptive names that help attendees understand the feed's content focus (e.g., "Product Announcements," "Medical Insights," "Technical Support").
Configure visibility settings for the feed if needed.
If you limit visibility for a feed, ensure the right groups have access. For example, compliance-sensitive content may need restricted visibility to specific departments.
Click Save to create the new feed.
Return to the Menu section by clicking "Menu" in the left navigation.
Click "Create Custom Menu Item" at the top of the page.
Enter a name for your menu item that matches or describes your topic-specific feed.
Select an appropriate icon from the dropdown menu.
Choose "Event Feature" from the Navigation Type dropdown.
Select "Live Feed" from the Feature dropdown.
Set visibility to match the same audience as your topic-specific feed.
Click Save to create your custom menu item.
Verify your new menu item appears in the menu list.
Test the navigation by previewing your event as an attendee would see it.
Troubleshooting
If your topic-specific feeds aren't appearing for attendees after configuration, verify that:
The visibility settings are correctly set for the intended audience
The menu item is enabled (toggle switch is on)
Multiple Feed mode is properly enabled in Live Feed settings
