Use the News Listing Block to display a list of News Pages or UMass Chan News News Article pages. This will list pages by date in descending order (most recent first). You can limit the amount of news items that display or set the number of items to show in pagination so the user can scroll through if the list is long.

This block has 2 options for display:

  •  Default is compact version for a smaller display - best for columns 
         News listing block display - compact version
  • Or choose the Full Details view to show a title, image, date and teaser/summary
         News listing block - full details display
