The administrator is able to create news items and broadcast them to all users. Each user can then mark them as read or delete individual news articles.
When a user logs in, a message counter indicates if there are any unread news items:
To read a news item:
1. | Either click on the News menu on the left side of the screen, or click on the News icon at the top of the screen. |
2. | Either action displays a list of all available news items: |
Items highlighted in grey are unread news items, while the items with a white background have already been read. The date and time the news item was posted is shown.
3. | To mark an item as read, click on the icon. The News counter at the top of the screen will be updated and the grey highlighting will disappear. |
4. | To delete an item, click on the icon. |
