can we incorporate NEWS Feeds in an Interface or Site ?

Hi Mandar,

We can Implement it, in the interface follow the below link.
docs.appian.com/.../News_Entry_Link_Component.html

Thank you for you reply. I think this give us a link to News Feed. I want to display the NEWS Feed directly on Site. Like this...

Can this be configured?

Hi Mandar,

Can you try in this manner.

a!richTextImage(

label: "Example",

images: a!webImage(
source: "",
link: a!newsEntryLink(
entry: "f-109"
)
)
)
)

Mandar,
We are exploring the possibility of including news in sites. As part of this research, we are looking for more details on the use cases or benefits of doing this. Can you please provide a bit more details on your specific business use case for including news in sites or on a interface?

Mandar,

As per my knowledge we can incorporate the news feed link in interface.

a!imageField(
images: a!documentImage(
document: "",
link: a!newsEntryLink(
label: "News Feed",
entry: ""
)
)
)
entry id -
To get an entry ID of a post created via smart service, use the Entry Id node output of the Post Event to Feed or the Post System Event to Feed smart services.
To manually get an entry ID from a post while browsing the news feed with a web browser, click on the post's timestamp. The end of the resulting URL in your browser address bar is of the form tempo/news/entry/[entry ID].

Hi John, Thanks for your interest.
So to explain you more about this use case...

1. We at HSBC use Appian to create a process around data that need to be collected from all over the globe, processed and analysed for Regulatory reporting of different countries like UK, USA etc.
2. So we have site which is accessed by users across the globe for their Tasks and other activities.
3. As part of process currently the HSBC head office or other regional HSBC offices releases NEWS feed about Economic Scenarios, Data collection processes etc ( Basically NEWS feed about what users should be doing).
4. Currently NEWS feed is on TEMPO and User uses site, so its a toggle for them between two interfaces. which I think is not a good user experience.
5. To handle this I want to incorporate the news feed in SITE landing page so that its a uniform user experience.

Hope this make sense to you. Please feel free to contact me if you need any more inputs.

Regards,
Mandar

Mandar,
Thank you very much for the information. Is the news (e.g. Economic Scenarios) being added by your offices added through process or a message or a post? Is it related to a record and have record tags?

Hi John,

They are mostly added as a Post, with no record tag.

Thank you John.
Please find our similar business case to use News in sites:
1) the business users are using Site as User Interface
2) they can create records and there would be more approvals, and other details added for the particular record
3) based on the loggedIn user/role, we need to display the messages regarding what is going on in the system
4) the messages might be targeted for the specific user/group/general
5) as we do not have News exposed to Sites, we need to build this using custom tables.
Thanks!

Saravanarajan,
Thanks for the input. So are you looking to add record news to sites? Or are you looking to add news entries to other places?
