Question please: As the Site Pages Library is updated with current news posts, will the "General News" category be updated automatically? (i.e. is it dynamic?) Thank you ... I enjoy your work.
This was so helpful, thank you! Once you create the category column under site settings, how do you edit it after its created? For example, I'd like to allow multiple category selection now but on set up, it was only one category.
My pleasure, Rosalyn, happy to hear! You need to manage the column created. Navigate to the Site Pages Library, click on Gear Icon > Library Settings, then click on the Category Column and make it multiple selection. You should also be able to edit the column from the Site Pages Library itself (click drop-down next to it and choose Edit Column)
Would this work between multiple sites? We got one main hub and then three "sites" (sub-hubs? still confused a little by Sharepoint), like our service-mainsite. So I want to create a news-cascade where I post a process change news on a process page, which then also should display on the service unit page, all service unit page news would then show in the service main site news box, and then finally all the service news will go towards the main intranet hub and flow into the main news feed where everything (from additional sites) will be displayed. is this possible?
Thank you, this post was helpful. I have a requirement for the news to display from different sites.. So, I have 3 categories on top level Site, News, Leaders Message, and New Hires. I am thinking it might be easier for users if I just 1) create new sites for both Leaders Message and New Hires. Otherwise, I would need to create Managed Property on multiple sites and have users select 'News'. With 3 separate sites (subsites no longer best practice), I can have 1) News pulling from all selected sites 2) Leaders message just showing from Leaders Message Site, and 3 New Hires showing only New Hires. Do you agree this is the 'best/easiest way to approach this?
Interesting and helpful video! I have a question, if an organization wants to publish certain news-posts on the Intranet but it should only be available to a certain group of employees, what do you suggest? For example volunteers who are allowed to access the intranet for general news but not the HR news webpart.
This is great, thank you. Would it be possible to have a drop-down selector at the top with all the categories there? Then the page would only show those news items from the selection, versus having a widget for each category.
@@SharePointMaven Thank you, that's what I needed to know. I'll set up some 3-column sections like you did and add the filters. Thanks for the quick response!
Thanks for this helpful post. I noticed that you selected News Source > This site. I would like to display news posts from another site. I selected it and tried Managed Properties but the filter doesn't recognise my column name or choices. Our company is creating a new hub site and we'd like to link the older posts to the updated page... How can I get this to work? Thanks.
Hi Sarah. If you need to roll up news posts from other sites, you need to create Managed Properties that will map to Crawled Properties from those columns you created on other sites. Make sure you do that, then reindex the Sites Pages Libraries. Eventually, Managed Property should show up in the News Web part.
I created a column "Category" of ipo choice but in WebPart "News" it doesn't show this managed property. The webpart is on another Hub site. But How should I proceed?
A single category works really well. However, when I update the column to allow multiple selection, none of the categories are visible when I edit the page details in the news post. Is there something else I should be doing?
What I've been trying to do is to present the user with a button which they can then use to filter types of news. eg the list starts off as all or 'internal' news then there is a button for 'external' news and the list changes to external.

Thanks for being my loyal follower. yes, as you add news posts, they will appear under the right section (they are dynamic).
@@SharePointMaven Thank you for the prompt response ... very helpful.

No, it does not work that way, you have to manually choose sites you want to aggregate from.

Yes, Jonathan, that's a great workaround - create separate sites for different news categories.

I am not aware of this capability out of the box

The fact that it is on another site complicates things. You'll need to create a Managed property, and then it should show up

No, Angela, it should work the same.
What sharepoint version are you using? There is no page details option to what I am using right now.
SharePoint Online
Hi , when I post the news depend on the category is there always shows the recent post and save the old ones? How is it going to display? Thank you!
Yes, it shows them in reverse chronological order
Thank you teacher!😀
You are welcome!
Can this be applied to the child sites? or do i need to use managed properties for this
Yes, need managed properties for this
This worked great! But now all pages are asking for a category since its required. How do I turn off required?
It should not require metadata unless you made the field required. Edit the column and uncheck required checkbox
What I've been trying to do is to present the user with a button which they can then use to filter types of news. eg the list starts off as all or 'internal' news then there is a button for 'external' news and the list changes to external.
OK
Just what I was looking for - thnx!!
Awesome, happy to hear!
is this possible with a hubsites and "all sites in the hub" ?
Yes, but you would need to rely on managed properties for this
