The Details Tab comprises 4 main panels, containing:

• Criticality and Display in main view for the first one;
• Title and Summary for the second one;
• Description and Image for the third one;
• Content link for the fourth and last one.

First Panel

Criticality

This drop-down list allows to choose one of the following:

• NORMAL: means 'no severity'. The associated colour is defined in WIND.
  INFO is the lowest severity level. The news is inserted with no emphasis. The associated colour is defined in WIND.
  WARNING is the medium severity level. The news is not very critical but is displayed with “some” emphasis. The associated colour is defined in WIND.
  FATAL is the highest severity level. The news is critical and shall be displayed with high emphasis. The associated colour is defined in WIND.
• Info
• Warning
• Fatal

The proposed scaled is quite obvious. Note that is will determine the colors of the title when seen from the NOP (Normal=black, Info=green, Warning=orange, Fatal=red).

Display in main view

Check this on to show the News in the Main view (in the Portlet).

If you leave this field unchecked, the News will only be visible in the lists obtained with the More button located at the bottom right of the Portlet:

Second Panel

Title

This is where you enter the title of the news.

Summary

This is where you enter the full text for the news.

The Summary field allows tagged text.

Third Panel

Description

Text placed in there will show in a detached view when one clicks on the title/banner from the Portal Portlet. It seems that most users will solely use the expand arrow to reveal the Summary. This field is therefore little used for now.

Image

This field is used to link to the thumbnail image displayed next to the News title. See the File Resources section to learn more on managing images.

Fourth Panel

Content link

This is where you enter to which file or URL the event would provide a link. See the Content Link section for more information on how to use this feature.
