Setting news items on the home page

Besides the system and workspace messages, you can also put news items on the APEX user's home page. The difference with the system and workspace messages is that you can add more news items that appear one by one like a carousel. Everyone can add news items so this offers a good method of communication between the team members.

Getting ready

No actions are needed. Well, just make sure you have access to APEX.
