To display the news details, it is highly recommended to create a separate, dedicated article page. Only the news content is then displayed on this page, which is important for focussing and clarity of the appearance.

1. A new page - e.g. with the title "News" or "Article" - is created as an article page and labelled as hidden in the menu in the [Access] tab.
2. A new content element of the type "Detailed view of news articles" is created on this page (from the [News system] tab, see image).
3. Within the new content element, switch to the [Plug-in:] tab.
4. There, click on the folder icon on the far right under "Starting point" and select the previously created system folder in which the news items are located.
5. In the [Other settings] sub-tab, in the [Page ID for list view] field, use the folder icon to select the start page of the device on which the message overview should later appear.
6. The overview page is also selected in the [Page ID for "Back" link] field.
7. The current article page is selected in the [Page ID for individual news view] field. (Does not necessarily make sense here, but will help us later).

The element is then closed and saved.

In the detailed view page for news articles, the "News extra fields" element can be inserted in the "Contact" area. If the field for further information has been filled with content for the displayed news item, this is then displayed in this extra element.

Use: The quickest way to find the extra element is to use the search function when creating new content in the side column and enter "extra" there. No further settings are required within the element, as the relevant content field of the currently displayed article is automatically displayed.

The content element for displaying the detailed view of a message can also be used to display a single message on a specific web page. The message is therefore taken from the message system and displayed as static text on the page.

Creating the news overview is a little more complex because there are some additional setting options that need to be taken into account. At the same time, however, this offers the advantage that the view can be configured quite flexibly.

1. Create a new content element and select the [News system] section. You can then select the "News article list" element (see Fig., point 1) - this is the default for normal cases, but there are two alternatives for certain special cases:
   • "News article list (incl. detailed view)": This element can display the article list and the detailed view at the same time (see fig., item 2). This variant can be used if there is a separate "News" page or similar that is used exclusively for the news. It is then not necessary to create a separate page for the detailed view.
   • "News article list (curated)": Here you can explicitly select specific news articles to be listed. This variant therefore contains a fixed selection and is not updated automatically when new articles are created (see Fig., point 3).
2. Call up the editing of the content element to make adjustments:
   • Set the [Sort by] field to "Specified date/time".
   • Set the [Sort by] field to "Descending".
   • In the [Template] sub-tab, set the [Template layout] field to "with image, scrollable" or "without image, scrollable" - depending on whether your messages contain a (teaser) image and whether this should be displayed in the message overview or not.
3. This completes the preparation and you can now close and save the element.
4. Finally, the news element may need to be activated, as it was initially deactivated after copying and pasting.

The existing messages should now be visible on the overview page and lead to the detailed view after clicking on them.
