Widget News: Highlight news directly in your Tracking portals

Today, many Suivi portals lack a simple, visible, and recurring space to surface fresh information. As a result, important announcements get lost, new products are less visible, and portal engagement often relies on workarounds.

With Widget News, your teams can publish and highlight news directly within a Suivi portal, in a readable, lively, and easy-to-consult format.

The objective is simple: help end-users quickly see what’s changing, identify useful information at the right time, and make the portal a more lively entry point daily.

How it works?

  • A portal manager adds a news feed to highlight announcements, product news, or memos.

  • The widget is connected to a structured content source containing the expected information: title, summary or content, image, category, dates, author, reading time, optional link.

  • The widget selects visible news items and sorts them by recency to display the most relevant information first.

  • Users consult a clear and updated feed with an immediately understandable rendering based on the navigation context.

  • Several display formats are available in V1: list, cards, and carousel.

Concretely, for whom?

  • For portal administrators who want to publish product news, internal announcements, or tracking information without recreating an entire page each time.

  • For business teams who wish to disseminate short memos or brief reports with time-limited visibility.

  • For end-users who need to immediately identify useful updates as soon as they arrive on the portal.

Good to know

This first version focuses on a standard, robust, and quick-to-deploy widget.

In V1, you will be able to:

  • connect the widget to a structured data source;

  • manage the essential fields of a news item;

  • benefit from sorting by recency and temporal visibility of publications;

  • reserve administration for authorized users.

However, this version does not include:

  • a complete editorial CMS in Suivi;

  • advanced multi-step validation workflows;

  • advanced graphic customization;

  • personalized recommendations per user;

  • comments, reactions, or advanced analytics per news item.
