News – Overview

This guide will give an Overview of the News Section on the new Intranet.

The News section is a new feature of the intranet and is the repository for any new information and ongoing updates. It replaces the rotating Features and Advert listings on from the old intranet homepage, similar to the carousel on the old intranet. 

There are two methods of navigating to the News section: 

Latest Trust news block

You can also navigate to the News section by clicking the ‘News’ tab within the navigation bar at the top of the page. 

News landing page 

The News landing page displays a series of news posts from across the Trust. These are displays newest (at the top) to oldest (at the bottom).  

Filtering 

To refine the results of the News page, you can also choose from a number of filtering options. To filter the page, click the ‘Filter news’ button to open the options.
