Creating a News Item from the News Tab

 

The News application allows workspace members to send News items to other members of their team. News items are messages that might be of interest to a number of users and can be used to facilitate communication between team members.

You can use the global News application to create News item related to any of the workspaces to which you are assigned.

To create a news item from the news application:

  1. Open the News application.
    A list of News items for all your workspaces displays.
  2. On the Tab Toolbar, click Create News Item.
    The Create News Item window opens.
    Note:
    Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
  3. From the Create In list, select the workspace to which you want to create the news item.
    The list includes all your workspaces. If you are a member of only one workspace, only one workspace will be listed.
    The default workspace is the workspace you selected the last time you created a news item.
  4. Type the News item name in the Headline text box.
  5. Type the News item content in the Content text box.
  6. Select the importance of the news item from the Priority list.
    Options include High, Medium, and Low.
  7. In the Notifications &Permissions section, select the team members who can view the News item, and the team members to be notified that the item has been created. For more information, see About Notifications and Permissions.

    This comment is included in the notification that is sent to users selected in the Notifications & Permissions section.
  9. Click Save & Close to save the News item and close the window. Click Save & Add Another to save the News item and begin another News item. Click Cancel to cancel the News item.
