News items are best for announcements that you would like your team to be aware of, but don't require discussion or a solution.
In this article, you will learn how to create News items and how to 'note' them in meetings.
Creating News Items
Step 1 - Open 'News'
Create a news item via the '+ Create' button, or
Click News on the left-hand menu, and select 'Create new item'.
Step 2 - Add News Information
This opens the news item details page.
Fill in the details:
Heading: What is the news?
Description: Add a context description.
Links/ Attachments: Add a link and/or attachment to support the news (if applicable).
Teams: Choose which teams see the news.
Step 3 - Save
Click save. The news item will now automatically flow into the following meeting.
Noting News Items in meetings
News items remain visible until they are "Noted" and this can only happen during a meeting.
Start your meeting and go to the News tab which will display all the active news items for that team.
When the News item has been announced, you can click on the Noted button for that item and its background will change to indicate it has been noted.
If an item is not "Noted" it will remain as an active News item and appear in the next meeting.
If a News item has been sent to more than one team, each team must "Note" that News item separately.
