Connection Properties

The platform can check Sharepoint for changes on Add or updates to list items every X minutes or X hours. There is a rolled-up option. Let’s say there is a high volume of changes to a list instead of having 30 new blog items in the stream over 15 minutes they can all be rolled into one item and the user can scroll through them. This is your choice whether you should do a rolled-up stream or not. Typically, better for high volume changes. The less changes you have, the higher number you should have for checking for changes on the stream. There is an optional filter that can filter certain items to display or not display in your stream. To understand more on this topic click here
