Can you display the Article Author?

Question

Is there a widget that will display who the author of an Article is?

Hi Rachel Jackson 
 As far as we&rsquo;re aware, there isn&rsquo;t an out-of-the-box widget in Verint Community that specifically displays the author of an individual article. 
 The closest option available today is the Activity Story Stream. While it&rsquo;s not article-specific, you can configure a tab to filter for recently created articles, and that view will display the author (i.e., who created the content). 
 That said, this is something that could be achieved through a customization&mdash;either by extending an existing widget or creating a new one to surface the article author metadata. 
 Out of curiosity, what&rsquo;s your use case for displaying the author? There are a few common scenarios where this comes up, for example: 
 
 Highlighting subject matter experts or giving visibility to internal contributors 
 Helping users identify a point of contact for follow-up questions on knowledge-based articles 
 Supporting governance or content ownership, especially in larger communities with multiple contributors 
 
 If you can share a bit more about what you&rsquo;re trying to accomplish, it may help point toward the best approach. 
 
 I would also recommend adding an idea to the ideas area to add an option to show the author in the Article - Article List widget here: Product Ideas and Improvements
