In a support discussion titled ‘Setting timer to be viewed by all and for moderators specifically to follow-up topics,’ Eman_Ahmed seeks a way for moderators to view and track deadlines across topics for team follow-up. While individual bookmarks and the Assign plugin are in use, they lack a visible, shared timer feature. NateDhaliwal suggests using the Assign feature to self-assign topics and track them via the notification sidebar, though it lacks a timer. ondrej links to the official Assign plugin documentation and notes it’s only available on Business tier or higher for hosted Discourse instances. Eman_Ahmed clarifies the need for a public-facing timer—similar to event displays—for all users. Lilly confirms no built-in timer exists and recommends custom plugin development or posting in Marketplace to hire developers. The thread highlights a gap in Discourse’s native functionality for shared, time-sensitive topic tracking, pointing toward custom solutions as the only viable path forward.
We need your support to find a way in which as a moderator I can view all the deadlines and follow-up on topics
For example: Bookmark is highly useful individually to follow-up posts but not for everyone. Is there a way in which I can able it to all or there’s another feature or plugin to follow-up
Hi @Eman_Ahmed , welcome!
I believe you can assign yourself to the topic. Click on the Topic controls > Assign > Add username and message.
You can access all assigned topics by clicking the user sign with a + sign in the notification sidebar (at the bottom).
The only drawback is that there isn’t a timer. You will just have have follow the same steps and click Unassign to unassign yourself.
Hope this helps!
Just a note if you are hosted by Discourse, this is only available on Business tier and up. If you are self hosting, you can ignore this 
thank you we already use the Assign plugin to set bookmarks for individual use
Our purpose is to have a timer on top of the topic to be displayed for everyone like events
Hello @Eman_Ahmed 
I am not aware of such a timer function and I think you would likely have to create your own plugin for this. You can also post in Marketplace if you want to contract other programmers to assist you with development.
