How does SWOOP deal with private messages? (Workplace)

SWOOP analyses meta-data for all public and private messages. However, depending on the context we exclude private messages.

(A message is classified as private if it was posted in a private or secret group, or if the group privacy is changed to private or secret.)

Private messages are included in the following calculations everywhere in SWOOP:

• High level usage statistics 
• User Activity
• Public/Private Messages
• Response Rate
• Two-Way Relationships
• Cross-Team Collaboration
• Hot Topics

Private messages are excluded from the Most Engaging Posts widgets on the Enterprise, Topic and Business Unit tabs. Messages posted in a private group will appear in the Most Engaging Posts widget on the Group tab for the relevant group. It will also appear in the Most Engaging Posts widget on the poster's Personal tab.
