FAQS

Can someone be notified when we post a new article? Yes, a notification email can automatically be sent to a person or group of people letting them know that a new article is available for viewing on the website as long as they have subscribed to the organization or team page.

How are articles ordered? Most recent articles appear first. Submit Dates are automatically filled in based on the current date. The Submit Date can also be changed to some point in the future, and the article will not appear on the website until that date (and time).

When do articles move to the Other News box? Based on the number of articles you have set the widget to display, they will move over AFTER that number has been reached. For Example: You have your widget set to show 5 articles. The oldest one (6th) would move to the Other News.

How do I access my News Archives page? This page will always be: yourdomain/articles
