This content type shows three news stories pulled from other pages on T4. It is an eye-catching way to inform the viewer of your latest news.
Give the content type a name that will help you remember what it contains. This won't appear on the public webpage, only in T4.
Add a heading text that will be displayed at the top of the block (eg Latest News).
Link to the relevant news section (eg Section: Home » QMUL Main channel » School of Physical and Chemical Sciences » News and Events » News).
Link to the news items section (eg Section: Home » QMUL Main channel » School of Physical and Chemical Sciences » News and Events » News » Items).
This is a dropdown menu, consisting of all the organisations. Ensure to add the organisations it's associated with. (eg Physical and Chemical Sciences, Physics, Physical and Astronomy)
This is an optional dropdown menu for the research pages.
Note: ensure that you fill in the 'Organisational unit' field correctly, as it won't pull through the news stories otherwise.
