Posting Status Updates
Important Pulse is deprecated in Flare, which means that it is slated to be removed in a future version.
AVAILABLE TO: Administrators, Employees, and Customers
All registered users can post status updates in the feeds associated with a Pulse system. The most common place for an end user to post a status update is in a topic (i.e., the embedded discussion form that appears under each topic in the Flare output). However, you can also post status updates in any group, tag, or user feed that you have access permission to view.

- Navigate to any Flare topic that has been mapped by a content developer to a Pulse feed.
- In the embedded discussion form below the topic, click Status.
-
(Optional) Do any of the following if you would like to share a video, image, or file with your status update:

What’s Next?
To receive a notification from Pulse, you must be subscribed to the feed where the status update was posted (see Subscribing to Communities and Topics). You must also enable the appropriate Pulse feature in the Notifications tab on the Settings page of your profile (see Editing Your Profile).
If you are responsible for moderating the Pulse feeds that are mapped to your Flare community or if you are just interested in participating in a discussion, you have several options for responding to a status update. See Responding to Status Updates.
