Site search is also available from the homepage welcome bar. It operates in exactly the same way as site search available from header. Clicking in the search panel area will allow you to enter in a query.

Alerts appear on the homepage, and seek to provide you with important timely information. Alerts are issued by your organisation’s Squiz Workplace administrators.

Promoted news items are available for you to view from the home page. On page load you will see the latest eight news, events, links, or announcements. You can click the expand button at the bottom of the section to display more items.

Some articles will be pinned to the top of the listing, meaning that even when new articles appear, they will be lower down in the listing than those that are pinned. If you see an article sitting at the top of the listing for a few days, it’s probably content that your organisation considers really important and worthy of a read! If your organisation chooses to, one article can be made more prominent than the others—you won’t miss it, it will be the big one in the top left corner of the feed!

Clicking on one of the individual news, event, link or announcement items will take you directly to that item. If you’re interested in seeing all of the available news, events, links and announcements in Squiz Workplace, then check out the News listing page (by appending /news to the end of your Workplace site’s base URL).
