News

News items are announcements written by the administrator, for example about a new procedure or a planned outage. The administrator can target a news item only at selected users, organizational units or roles, so everyone sees only the news that concerns them. You can find news in four places: in the window shown after login, in the notifications under the bell in the top bar, in the News widget on the dashboard and on the News page.

News after login

When a news item you have not seen yet has been added, TAS opens it in a window after you log in. The same window opens when you click a news item anywhere else.

2CloseCloses the window. In this browser, the same news item will not open again after login.
3PublishedPublication date. If the news item has limited validity, the Available until date is shown next to it.
4TagsLabels the administrator uses to sort news items.
5News contentText of the news item. It can contain links, images and formatting.
6ContactPhone number and e-mail of the contact person. Click to start a call or write an e-mail. If the news item has a link, the More details button is also shown here.

When there are several new news items, the window shows them one after another and you can browse through them at the bottom.

The widget shows news items from the newest. Each one shows its tag, title and the beginning of the text. Click a news item to open it in full. More news items load as you scroll the widget down. If you have no news, the widget shows “There is no news”. You add the widget in dashboard edit mode (see the Dashboard widgets article).

News in tasks
The administrator can also assign a news item to specific templates, headers or tasks. Such a news item is then also shown directly in the open task.

The administrator writes and publishes news in Administration under News management.
