Mouse over "Content", then click on "Department News"

Add Department News Node

Title

This is what gets displayed on the Department or Department Content node to which it's assigned, as well as on a users home page when they log in.

Groups Audience

This will populate based on what groups you are a group administrator for. Most users will only have one group.

Department Page Reference

Type in the name of the department content node that this should appear on. Type in the first few characters and it will autocomplete with a list for you to choose from.

Note you may assign this department news to multiple department content pages.

Date

This is the "news date", which may differ from the actual publishing date. You can select any date you'd like.

Body

This is the content that appears on the document list item full node view. Use the rich text editor as you see fit. There is no limit on the amount of content you can put in this space. 

Use the "Paragraph Format" dropdown to organize your content. "Heading 2" should be used for creating sections of the page. "Heading 3" can be used for sub-sections. Use Heading 4-6 at your discretion.

Summary

By default, Drupal will trim content from the "Body" to use as the description for the document list item. Often it's the first sentence or paragraph. HTML formatting is automatically stripped out, so sometimes your content may begin with an image, video, or a section heading that doesn't make sense as a teaser.  In those cases, click on the "Edit Summary" link and fill in the summary field. You'll see a rich text editor but you any formatting will be stripped out.

File(s)

You may upload one file per department news node.

Images

You may upload one or more images per department news node. Multiple images will be displayed as a slideshow with 'next' and 'previous' buttons.

Revision Information

Optional, but highly recommended, especially if multiple people are updating the same node. Provide a note describing your changes. This will be used to create a "Revision" that content managers and adminiistrators can reference and revert back to if needed.
