On the FAST Home Page and within each application there is a Links section and an Announcements or News section; they are located on the right hand side of the page on the Application Info and Quick Launch Tabs. On the Application Home Page, they are located in the same position as they are on the Application Info and Quick Launch Tabs, but they are labeled slightly differently. On the Application Home Page, you will see Links and Announcements. On each application's tab where they are displayed, they are called Links and News, and indicate the application. For example, in the Human Resources app, they are called HR links and News.
You can use the Links section for reports, forms, and web sites that are used regularly. The Announcements section can have notices and reminders, for example, scheduled maintenance.
The news items will display, by default in reverse chronological order (newest on top, oldest at the bottom). You can maintain and delete your news items as often as necessary.
