Overview
The Timeline is designed to allow users to view activity related to them, as well as interacting with other users. The Timeline Event feed displays a wide variety of events, depending on a user's settings.Viewing your own Timeline
The view you have of your own personal timeline feed contains the widest variety of events. Generally, it contains events releated to you, your connections, and some major system events.
Viewing someone else's Timeline
The view you have of someone else's timeline feed depends on two things:
- Their security permissions
- Your connection to them
Users have the ability to restrict viewing of their timeline by other users, through their Notification & Privacy options in their Timeline Settings. If a user has chosen to restrict their timeline, you may need to request to connect to them, and wait for their approval before you will be able to view their feed.
Generally, you will only be able to see events that relate to the user you are viewing, and not any other users.
