Blog and newsletter content

When you publish calendars in Trumba® Connect, you have lots of choices for how to present the event information. One of those choices is News view.

News view is not a typical calendar view. Unlike typical views, News view displays the latest event at the top. This makes it an ideal option for publishing content such as blogs and newsletters. Because Trumba Connect supports an editing permissions hierarchy, the person responsible for writing the blog can easily keep the content up-to-date without affecting account or calendar settings.

You can see News view in action in the following What's New in Trumba Connect calendar from the Trumba website.
