Can a widget show only blog entries with a particular label? (COVID-19 management query)
Hi all,
We've been using Igloo to communicate with our team on the COVID-19 situation, and it's been invaluable. We took the decision to shut down our offices 2 days ago, and I am therefore setting up a dedicated 'Remote Working Hub' for our team, with tips and tricks and best practices, but importantly, I would like to include all blog posts relating to COVID-19 in a widget on this page to help people keep up to date.
At the moment, I have been using a widget showing our 'Featured News' channel, which is fine - but not all Featured News will be COVID-19 related in the future (I hope!). Does anyone know if there is a way to set up a widget so that it can display just the blog posts labelled 'COVID-19', so that they are all in one place? I would prefer to not set up another channel if possible because of the way things are linked on our site, but am happy to do so if the consensus is that there's no other way...
Thanks in advance!

Hi Francesca,
There's a Search By Label premium enhancement that can accomplish that, though the display options aren't as robust as the blog article widget. However, for an acute issue like this, we recommend the Business Continuity Solution, which contains an array of options for sharing news and updates around an issue.
Thanks Jim Tigwell!
Francesca Wing for more information about the new solution, please see our latest post in Product News.
Thanks Jim Tigwell and Diana May, I'll take a look!
Hey Francesca Wing,
I have time today if you require to go through the new solution and help on the challenge you have.
I strongly desire a widget that can aggregate content that have the same label,regardless of the channel. To me, that seems like a natural way to harness the power of labels. Is there an add-on that does this?

Agree, David Domine! Labels seem primarily useful if you click on one to search for all such tagged content, but I'd love if labels could do more.
Hi Karen Rogers and David Domine - I've let Rick Batchelor and Andrea Gumz-Dietrich know of your interest in this and they'll be in touch! Thank you
Thanks Diana. Stay safe out there! _djd
