News item fields

When creating or editing a news item, configure the following fields:

• Title - The title displays above the message
• Date - The start date and time determines when the item appears and how it's sorted. Setting a future date hides the item until that date. Select the date using the calendar and optionally type a time afterwards
• Active Period [days] - The number of days the message remains active from the date entered. Use -1 to keep the message always active (even with a future date), or 0 to make it inactive. You can also enter a specific date and time in this field
• Content - The message content

Tip

Keep your first paragraph to approximately 400 characters for correct display on news overviews and mobile versions.

• Tags - Distinguish between message types:
  • FAQ - For frequently asked questions
  • NEWS - For news items
  • STATUS - For status messages in the calendar module
  • Custom text as label - Add custom tags to group FAQ and news messages. These groupings appear on the frequently asked questions and news pages
