My ConneX web part

The My ConneX web part displays the workspaces the current user is a member of. Up to 10 workspaces will be shown in the web part at once by default.

You can click the name of a workspace to navigate to it, or hover over it to show the workspace card with more options:

Configuration options for the My ConneX web part

The My ConneX web part is a more compact version of the full ConneX web part. My ConneX has a default configuration which is sufficient for most use cases, but the configuration options available are described in this article.

Please note that the ConneX and My ConneX web parts have the same configuration options and allow you to switch between them.

Start configuring

To get started configuring the web part for a specific page, ensure the page is currently in Edit mode, then hover over the web part on the page and click the "pencil" icon to the left of it to open the configuration panel:

Once you have finished configuring the web part, make sure you Publish the page to ensure the changes are saved and visible to all users.

Styling options

The first section shows the Styling options, allowing you change the web part Title. You can also choose whether to show a blank web part if there are no results (default no), and whether to show the results count (default no).

Search Settings

The second section shows the Search settings, allowing you to contextualise results from the page tags the My ConneX web part is sitting in.

You can also apply selected filters which will save the selected filters against the web part. Please note, you will need to switch filters on from within the Layout options first, make the appropriate selections, apply the filters, and then hide the filters again.

Paging settings

The third section shows the Paging settings, first allowing you to Show paging, which is Off by default, but turning it on gives us access to additional settings.

Show paging should be enabled to configure the later settings
Set the number of items per page - if paging is disabled this is just the total number of items shown

When paging is enabled you can configure certain elements of the paging controls:

Set the number of pages to display in range e.g. how many pages are numbered in the control:
- If we have 10 items per page and 6 pages then 60 items total can be browsed by the user.
The final options are related to showing or hiding the navigation controls. If paging is enabled we recommend keeping the controls shown, but the last option to hide buttons when disabled may be more commonly used.

Layout options

Layout options for My ConneX are mainly related to features available by default with the full ConneX web part.

The ConneX Layout option lets you switch between the My ConneX and ConneX functionality, as well as showing 'This Workspace' only. You can learn about the differences here: Use ConneX to manage workspaces
The Display Mode option lets you decide whether to use the full ConneX Cards, Compact cards or instead display each item as a row. In the My ConneX configuration the default is to show rows.

Next we can choose whether or not to show some specific controls:

Choose whether to show a New button for direct access to workspace creation
Choose whether to show a Search Box to allow the user to filter with a text query
Choose whether metadata Filters are shown
Choose whether the refresh button is shown
Choose whether Sorting options are shown
Show Pinned workspaces
Choose whether to hide all workspaces by default
Choose whether to Show results - if you turn this Off then no workspace cards or rows will be shown in the web part, but you could still show the New workspace button for example. Usually it is best to show some results but reduce the number shown.
Finally we can Customise labels which allows you to set the wording in all languages for the "New workspace" and "Search for a workspace" texts (if those features are shown):

Click the Customise labels button to see the screen above, then click Edit next to a label to change the text to be displayed. You can provide the label in three languages currently - English, Spanish and French:
