Setting up news items on the home page
Besides the system and workspace messages, you can also put news items on the APEX user's home page. The difference with the system and workspace messages is that you can add more news items that appear one by one like a carousel. Everyone can add news items, so this offers a good way of communication between the team members.
Getting ready
No actions needed. Well, just make sure you have access to APEX.
How to do it...
Log on to APEX. You will see the home page.
If no one in the workspace has added a news item yet, the News bar will show nothing (except News).
Click on the Add icon on the right-hand side of the News bar.
In the news entry text area, enter some text, for example,
New project started.Click on the Add News button. The news item is added.
If you click on the Home link, you will see the home page together with the news item.
Add another news item by again clicking on the Add icon on the right-hand side.
Enter some new text, for example,
Finished...
