News items can include a custom feature image, which will display on the Homepage. This can be used to draw attention to specific articles, which you may find useful in promoting particular events or campaigns in the school.
To change this image, open the News Article you wish to amend in the News table. If you have not already created a news article, this should be done first.
With the Article record open, select the 'Feature Image' tab. Then, click the 'Upload' button.
Click the 'Select files...' option and choose the image you wish to add. You can also drag and drop your selected image into this box.
When uploaded, your selected image will show. This gives you a preview of how the image will display on the front page.
Any standard image format can be used (i.e JPG, PNG). Images should ideally be in a 16:9 aspect ratio, to match the rectangular display area. Images that are not in this ratio may not display correctly, and appear cropped. Check the image in this window to ensure it looks as you expect.
When you are happy with the image and the rest of the article, you can press save and this will update the article to include your selected image.
