From YouTube: Using the News Tool in Koha
Description
How to use the News Tool on the Staff side, OPAC and Receipts!
A
The
news
tool
is
so
versatile
because
I
can
use
it
on
both
the
staff
client,
my
receipts
to
my
patrons
and
the
OPAC,
so
I'm
going
to
show
you
how
to
do
all
three
today
in
this
tutorial
video
and
how
to
communicate
to
your
patrons
and
staff,
using
the
news
tool
I'm
on
the
main
page
of
my
staff
client
and
over
to
the
left,
is
that
news
section
and
so
anything
that
I
wanted
to
put
on
this
staff,
client
and
I
wanted
to
communicate
with
my
staff
members.
A
It
would
show
up
on
this
page,
so
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
do
that
right
now
and
I'm
going
to
show
you
how
to
add
a
news
feature
to
your
staff
clients.
So
here
I
am
in
the
tools,
module
and
I'm,
going
to
use
those
additional
tools
and
go
right
to
that
news.
Section
now,
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
create
a
new
entry.
A
The
first
option
is
I,
have
is
I.
Have
that
display
location,
so
I'm
gonna
say
that
I
want
it
to
display
on
the
librarian
interface
I
have
the
capability
of
choosing
which
library
I
want
to
show
this
on,
but
I'm
gonna
keep
that
as
all
libraries
and
and
asks
for
a
title
great
deal.
This
is
so
helpful.
I
have
a
publication
date
and
then
I
have
an
expiration
date.
A
So
I
don't
have
to
remember
and
go
and
turn
this
news
feature
off
once
it's
not
necessary,
it
will
do
it
for
me,
then
I
have
this
little
appear
in
position
where
I
want
this
to
show
up
on
the
list
of
news
features
if
I
had
more
than
one
no
put
zero,
and
this
will
show
up
right
at
the
top,
then
I
have
this
basic
editing
box.
I
do
have
the
capability
of
going
into
an
HTML.
A
And
there
I
can
see
where
it's
gonna
show
up
what
libraries,
what
number
position
when
it's
gonna
be
published
when
it's
going
to
expire,
the
title
I
assigned
to
it
as
well
as
the
author
and
then
I,
have
the
actions
over
here.
I
could
go
ahead
and
edit
or
delete
that
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
my
main
page,
using
that
Koha
button
at
the
top
and
now
I
actually
see
it
in
the
news
section.
I
can
actually
see
what
I
just
typed
quick,
very
easy.
A
A
So
this
is
going
to
show
up
on
my
opak
and
we
actually
are
getting
carpet
in
our
east
branch,
so
I'm
going
to
make
that
more
specific
to
my
east
branch
patrons
it's
same
thing,
I'm,
going
to
say
that
new
carpet
installation
I'm
going
to
give
it
a
publication
and
an
expiration
date
again.
It's
amazing
I
often
remind
myself
to
go
back
in
there
and
tell
me
tell
myself
to
turn
it
off.
A
This
is
a
system
preference
that
you
can
actually
have
an
option
to
display
this
pulldown
menu.
That
would
show
that
or
to
allow
patrons
to
choose
the
news
section
which
library
that
they'd
like
to
look
at.
If
you
don't
have
that,
then
that
would
eliminate
that
pulldown
menu.
So
I
actually
have
this
new
carpet
for
my
East
Branch
here
now.
A
If
I
did
not
do
that
as
a
patron
once
I
log
in
and
if
I'm
an
East
Branch
patron,
then
I'm
actually
going
to
see
that
new
section
without
doing
any
prompting
so
I'm
gonna
go
back
to
my
home
screen,
which
you
log
in
you
go
to
your
account
summary
and
maybe
I'm
a
home
library.
Sorry
I
would
have
to
go
into
East
Branch,
so
I
can
actually
see
that
my
patron
must
be
home
library
person
versus
an
East
Branch.
Then
you
can
have
that
specific
to
your
patron
okay.
A
A
A
So
something
if
you
wanted
to
communicate
to
your
patrons
so
I'm,
just
gonna
give
you
a
quick
hit,
cancel
dear
I'm,
gonna,
really
print
it.
I
want
to
show
you
really
quick
what
it
looks
like
on
that
on
your
notice
and
slip
where
you
would
go
ahead
and
do
that
so
I'm
gonna
go
over
to
my
notices
and
slips
I'm
again
in
my
tool,
section
in
Koha
that
middle
print
slip
is
called
the
issue
slip.
A
So
it's
about
halfway
down,
depending
on
how
many
slips
you
have
here
and
I'm,
going
to
go
ahead
and
hit
edit
and
I'll
put
this
in
lay
in
the
blog
post,
also
just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
more
information,
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
show
you
email,
even
though
we
know
we're
printing
it
up.
This
is
a
known
bug.
It's
gonna
just
show
up
in
that
email
tab
and
you
can
see
all
my
HTML
here
that
shows
up
on
the
issue
slip,
but
I
wanted
to
show
you
this
library
news
section
here.
A
So
in
addition
to
grabbing
that
message,
body
information
so
I
have
that
news
title
in
the
news
content.
So
if
I
didn't
want
to
show
the
title,
I
could
get
rid
of
the
news
title
and
just
show
that
news
content
I'll
show
you
where
those
show
up
here.
These
are
all
those
message.
Bodies
and
I
need
to
start
with
the
news
and
end
with
the
news
and
opening
news
and
a
closing
news,
and
that
super
easy
to
do
and
I'll
take
a
screenshot
of
this
and
put
that
in
the
blog
post
as
well.
I.
