News - Creating News Items

The News feature lets you post articles about your company’s latest news and offerings. It’s one of the best ways to interact with your customers and keep them up-to-date.

To start creating your first News item, click the News link found under the Website utility menu.

Once the News sub-menu appears, click the Add button (+) on the upper right side to create your first news item.

Type the news title in the Title field. In the Content tab, write or paste the content of your news item. The Content tab uses menus and buttons similar to the ones you see in the Content Editor page. This allows you to customize your news item using HTML or CSS.

After typing your news content, enter a short summary in the Summary tab.

In the Details tab, you’ll be required to answer the following categories: News Type, News Group, and Release Date.

• News Type - This lets you choose between Site, Business, and Manufacturer news.
• News Group - Lets you select the news group where you want your latest news item to be categorized.
• Business Name - Sets the name of the store that can access your news article.
• Business Location - Lets you select which store location gets access to the news article.
• Release Date - Sets the date when you want your news article to be published.

To save your news item, click the Save button (Disk icon) found at the upper right side.

The newsletter article will be listed in the News table in Web Admin. The article can still be accessed and edited just by clicking its title.

Your article’s headline will also appear on your site under the Newsletter header, located under the left-hand product navigation column. To read the news article, just click the title and you’ll be automatically directed to the main news page.
