What's New / News view

Any university department or organization can easily add a newsletter to its website by publishing a Trumba® Connect calendar in News view. The following What’s New in Trumba Connect calendar provides an example. News view is the least traditional view in the Trumba collection. Unlike typical calendar views, News view displays the latest event at the top. This makes it ideal for newsletter or blog content.
