NewsBoard app is a complete news solution for SharePoint sites, allowing you to author news articles and display them in categorised lists, or as a carousel on any page within the site. An ideal solution for inserting news into your companies landing pages.

Features:

• Rich article editor
• Category management
• Automatic archiving of articles
• Future publishing of articles
• Configurable carousel add-in part
• Adapts to your sites theme
• Permissions management

NewsBoard does not limit the number of categories that can be created or used. We would recommend not using more than 50 categories, as more than this will require a lot of management and limit the usefulness of categorising news articles for the end user.

NewsBoard does not store any data. All data created using the NewsBoard app – such as categories, news articles and users – is stored on your SharePoint Online Tenant within the app itself

There is no upper limit set by the NewsBoard app, however SharePoint Online has upper limits for file uploads. Contact your SharePoint Administrator for more details.

NOTE: Uploading images greater than 4mb in size can lead to slower performance when rendering the news articles in the news carousel. As with all cloud services, page load times and performance is dictated by the speed of your connection to the service.

As NewsBoard relies on SharePoint Online as the underlying platform, there are certain characters that may cause issues when saving a new or edited news article.

Special characters that SharePoint Online won’t accept in file names as follows:

• Tilde (~)
• Number sign (#)
• Percent (%)
• Ampersand (&)
• Asterisk (*)
• Braces ({ })
• Backslash (\\)
• Colon (:)
• Angle brackets (< >)
• Question mark (?)
• Slash (/)
• Plus sign (+)
• Pipe (|)
• Quotation mark (“)
