About this feature: The News section acts like an electronic bulletin board that users will be able to see directly on their homepage as they log in. This is a great place to post announcements, share the monthly newsletter, and to provide any information that is relevant to your users.
A separate News section will be available for each type of user in your account such as Volunteer, Member, Donor, and Client.
The Administrator News section enables the posting of messages that all administrators will see on their homepage when they log into the administrator side of the software. This is a great tool to use when information needs to be shared with all administrators across the entire organization.
