Wall
The Wall is a project feed for progress updates, site photos, test results, issues and questions. Each post carries a category and can receive comments.

What the Wall is for
Open Wall from a project or a site. A site Wall shows the feed of the site's own workspace.
The feed loads every post when you open the page, newest first. It does not refresh automatically; reload the page to see new posts from other users. Posting and commenting do not send notifications.
Creating a post
- Type your update in the composer at the top of the Wall. The limit is 2,000 characters, and a counter appears as you type.
- Choose a category from the list in the composer toolbar. The default is General.
- Optionally click Photo, Video or Emoji.
- Click Post.
Post stays disabled until the post has text or at least one uploaded attachment. Wait for all uploads to finish before posting.
Your user account must match a person in Workforce People by email address. Otherwise the post is rejected with the message "Wall post author must exist in Workforce People (matching email)."
Photos and videos
Click Photo or Video and select one or more files.
| Type | Accepted formats |
|---|---|
| Photo | JPEG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, HEIC, HEIF |
| Video | MP4, MOV, WEBM, AVI, MPEG |
- Each file can be up to 100 MB.
- A post can hold up to 10 attachments.
- Files upload as soon as you select them. A spinner shows while a file uploads, and a cross shows if the upload failed.
- To remove a file before posting, hover over its thumbnail and click the cross.
In the feed, click an image or video to open it full screen. Images attached to a post are also added to the Photos module and linked to the post. Videos are not.
Categories, filters and sorting
Each post shows a coloured category badge beside the author's name. The categories are General, Progress, Inspection, Testing, Safety, Delivery, Issue, Environment, Design, Milestone, Client and Misc.
Below the composer, filter buttons show All and each category that has posts, with a count. Up to five category buttons appear; the others are listed under More….
- Posted By filters the feed to one author. Search by name, company or role.
- Newest and Oldest switch the sort order.
Selecting All also clears the author filter. The Wall remembers your category filter and sort order for each project.
