When to use a news item
A news item is for ad-hoc announcements: a schedule change, a field trip that went well, a centre update. For announcements that should appear permanently in the portal (like an "About us" page), use Static content.
Step by step
Open the editor
In the panel, go to Content → News and click the orange button New news item in the top-right corner.
Write the title and the body
The title appears prominently in the portal and in the notification; make it explicit. The body supports bold, italic, lists, and links.
Choose the recipient families
In the right panel select the groups that should receive it. If you don't select any, the news item is visible to all families of the centre.
Schedule or publish
If you press Publish now, the news item propagates immediately and families receive push and email. If you prefer to delay it, press the arrow next to the button and choose Schedule with date and time.
What families see
Families see the news item both in the centre's portal and in their app, and they receive a push notification. If a family had push disabled, they still receive an email with the content.
Edit or unpublish
While in published state you can edit the text and families will see the changes. If the news item no longer applies, mark it as Archived — it's removed from the portal but kept in the panel for history.
Avís
Deleting a news item is irreversible: it disappears from the portal and the panel. It cannot be recovered. When in doubt, archive it first and delete it later.
