List news stories associated with a subject or department, or a tag. You can also manually select individual news stories and enable filters so that users can filters posts themselves.
Example
The following settings have been applied:
“Number of posts” set to 24
“Order by” set to “Date”
“Order” set to “Descending”
“Simple/detailed/grid view” set to “Grid”
“Pagination” toggled on
“Appointment of Interim Vice-Chancellor” has been added as a “Sticky post”.
“News type” pre-set to only display “News Feature” posts
“Subject”, “Department” and “Topic” filters have also been toggled on.
Enable pagination: News posts will be paginated (nine per page).
You can also manually include specific news stories by clicking “+ Add row” under the “Sticky posts” heading. Click into “Row x” and search for a post in the drop-down menu. These will be displayed first before any retrieved using the pre-set filters (3 above).
When using the filters, you can only use “Subject” or Department and not a combination of the two.

Settings that should be ignored:
Specific news items with Sticky posts: Combining “Sticky posts” and “Specific news items” doesn’t work; any pre-set filters and specific news posts will be disregarded. Use “Sticky posts” in combination with the pre-set filters, or on its own if you just want to manually select x number of news posts.
