News function

With a news section on the start page, our partners get an information channel to reach out to their users directly on the platform.

The feature has multilingual support, so it's possible to present a news post in several different languages. What language the post will be presented in depends on the viewer's account settings.

Create/publish, edit and delete news

Only system owners have the access to write and publish news. Their news will be shown for the whole system and the users who have access to it.

They can either write the news themselves, but will also have updates from Meridix available to repost as themselves if they’d like to.
