Pinning Posts in JMP LiveI would like the ability to pin certain posts to the top of JMP Live under the All Posts tab, similar to how blogs work. I could see this potentially being useful if there is a certain dashboard that everyone should see (such as the Worldwide Sales Dashboard in JMPLiveSales), or in the case of having a general FAQ post (published in a Tabulate or something similar) that everyone should be able to see immediately as well.

I would see this as a different feature from Featured and Bookmarks. Both of those have limitations, with Featured only being able to be set for Public reports and not scriptable, and Bookmarks being limited to the specific user.
My idea would have two forms of "pinned" posts:
- If the post is Public, then pinning it would result in the post appearing at the top left at all times under the "all posts" tab.
- If the post is part of a group, then pinning it would result in the post appearing at the top left at all times under the "posts" tab within the Group page.
A potential use case would be if there are thousands of posts in the server or within a group, making it difficult for people to find what they need. Admins could "pin" a post with helpful information, such as a picture of a powerpoint slide that is an index or something similar.
Re: Pinning Posts in JMP LiveI may be misunderstanding this request, but it sounds very similar to Featured posts and bookmarked posts.
If site wide you want everyone to see a particular post, it can be marked Featured, and it will always be seen on the Featured page.
If an individual user has posts they want to see, they can bookmark them, and they will always appear in the Bookmarks view under Home. Other users will not see these as their bookmarks may be different, allowing them to choose what is important to them.
Or is the problem that you would like to see Featured and bookmarked posts (the "pinned" posts) appear at the top of the list in all posts so you don't have to navigate to different view to see things that have been "pinned"?
Re: Pinning Posts in JMP LiveGood idea Andy!
