Before You Start

Ask yourself:

  • Has this content ever worked on screen? → If not, jump to Never Worked on Screen

  • Is the screen showing nothing, or is the content just not updating?


Step 1 – Check for Source Errors

  1. Open the Viva Engage app and go to the Information tab

  2. Look at these two fields for error messages:

    • Outstanding source reports

    • Latest notification from the source

      Outstanding Source Reports and Latest Notification From The Source

Step 2 – Check the Source Status

  1. Go to the app's Source tab

  2. Check the Source is pushing data field:

  3. Also verify:

    • Current data — this field is always empty for Viva Engage for security reasons


Step 3 – Check Advanced settings in Configuration

Go to the Configuration tab and click Show Advanced
