This tab displays an overview of all platform activity related to your account. It includes notification of friend requests from other users, notifications of users who have requested to join Departments or Groups you manage, a list of the events you are organizing (those you have entered in to the system directly), a list of any events you’ve entered that are still pending (not yet published), and list of user activity – yours, your friends’, and Departments and Groups you manage. At the very top are links to build yourself an email digest to inform you of events in the system that fit your custom criteria as well an embeddable widget that you can use to display events in the system that fit your custom criteria on your own website.
