News form

The News body can be written with markdown for an easy to read formatted output.

A News item can be made Global meaning everyone using OSIS can see it.

A News item can also be Restricted and will only be visible to the Groups its made available to. Users must be placed in these groups by an OSIS Administrator.

Setting a Publish and Expiry date will make the News item only available within the specified date and time. Leaving the Expiry Date blank, will make the News available until deleted.
