Users see News streams listed across the top of the News page. As a community manager,
you can create and manage the streams for all registered users to see to the News
page.
Attention: You must have Manage News Streams or Manage
Community permissions to create, modify, or delete News streams.
You can create up to 10 News streams to be displayed on the News page in the order listed
under News Stream when you edit the News page.
To create News streams for everyone in the community:
-
In the user interface, go to the News page and click
Manage the News page icon (
) next to
News to create a new stream.
-
Under Create custom streams for, select
Everyone.
-
In News Stream Title, enter the stream title, for example, CEO's
Blog.
This is the stream name users see on the News page.
-
In Places/Blogs, specify the place or blog from which you want
the stream to pull content.
Tip: If you see both a place and the place blog listed, note that selecting
the blog would post less content in the stream. In other words, selecting a place means
any new content created there shows up in the stream. Selecting the blog means
only blog posts show up.
-
Under Audience, select whether you want guest users (users who
have not registered) to be able to see the stream.
This is only relevant if your community is visible to unregistered users.
-
Under Notify Users, select whether you want the stream's users
to receive email or mobile notifications every time new content is posted in the place or
blog.
Tip: In general, we recommend setting this to Off.
However, you may likely want to enable notifications on the most important content that
your users cannot miss. Note that if notifications get noisy, users may stop reading the
content.
-
Click Save to save the stream configuration.
You can create up to 10 News streams and reorder the list by dragging streams to new
positions.
-
When you finished adding streams, click Publish Layout.
