News Maintenance

The Decision Logic News feature gives users the ability to add news stories such as messages, alerts, and a scrolling banner to the main landing page of the platform.  These messages are only visible if your brand's landing page is the Welcome Page.  If the landing page is different, such as the Dashboard, the messages will not appear.

Menu Site Navigation

Maintenance > General > News Maintenance

You'll see three tabs:

• Welcome Message

• News Stories

• Sections

Edit a News message in News Maintenance:

Select News Maintenance > Select Edit on the Editor Screen 

Here you can edit text, add pictures, format text, add links, and build tables.

 Note: It is best to copy plain text into your editor. Otherwise, the formatting could have conflicts.

To Preview & Save a News Message, click Preview to view the final appearance of your News message.

Select Save at the top to make your News message live.
