This tool allows an organization to manage news and announcements, which are relevant for the date and time that they announced (which differ from events, which are relevant for when and where they happen, not so much when they are announced). Some of the features of the News tool include: The ability for users to browse news by day, week, or month. The option to include an image that will appear on the summary page of the section, as well as larger image that will appear in the body of the news. The option of providing contact information for each news item. Contact information can either be entered manually, or can be an existing user within the system. If the latter, then if the account information changes for the user, the changes will automatically be updated in all news that has that user as the contact. The most recently added news can be summarized on the summary page of each section, along with other current information from other tools. Full integration with the search utility. Even though news can only be added to one section, it can be "cross-posted" to other sections so that it appears with the other section's own news. News can be added in the future, and will only become visible to the general user population when it becomes current. By using the personalization features, users can have the entire contents of news sent to them in email messages when new news is added to a particular section.
