Background
When you create a board on a business or enterprise plan, you are asked to select a board type between Special Occasion, Culture & Engagement, and Shout Out:
Special Occasion: Celebrate someone on a special occasion (birthdays & celebrations, congrats & praise, farewells, sympathy & get wells, and more).
Culture & Engagement: Bring colleagues together for team- or company-wide initiatives and campaigns (heritage & identity recognition month celebrations, ERG event documentation, costume contests, gratitude month, holiday cheer, cute pets).
Shout Out: Back-and-forth appreciation between many colleagues on a single board (create these peer-to-peer recognition boards on a quarterly basis or choose your own cadence).
Depending on your selection, there are a few differences in settings by default:
Default Settings That Differ by Board Type
Special Occasion | Company Event | Shout Out | |
New post placement | Bottom | Top | Top |
Likes/Comments | Off | On | On |
Tagging | Off | On | On |
Post Timestamps |
Off | Off | On |
Note that these can always be adjusted for a particular board from the settings panel.
