News items are best for announcements that you would like your team to be aware of, but don't require discussion or a solution.

News items can be created either from the create button on the News page or via the Global Create button (see screenshot).

This displays the news creation dialog which allows you to enter a heading and a description as well as links or attachments.

Before saving the news item, you need to choose who sees the news. You can select your current team or all teams in the company.

Now click on save and all the teams you selected will receive a copy of the news item to be included in their next meeting.

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.
