Option to exclude certain "News Articles" pages from the What's Happening email
John Howard
Similar to the "Calendar" page type, provide the ability to select to hide new articles added to the "News Articles" page from What's Happening emails.
ORIGINAL POST
There are things which are added to the website that we do not want cluttering up notifications regarding changes. For example, I want to create a small photo album of photos of a problematic railing and fence, showing the damaged areas. This is part of a folder that contains info relating to investigation, planning and execution of the repairs. I don’t want the photos being advertised to anyone, even those who have access to them. Can we have in the settings for any given page an option to turn off any notifications?

If this is regarding to "What's Happening" emails, I would also like the option to include additional items, like New Pages or New Files added. Would be nice to be able to modify inclusion settings as needed.

Ann Adams: Would you please explain further what you'd like to be able to do?

Would be great to have an option of not including certain page types (e.g. Forums, Classifieds, Garage Sales) from appearing in What's Happening.
Meredith Owens
Jim Williams: We're looking at these on a page-by-page basis. Therefore, if you'd like to have this capability for a particular page type, please create a new post for each one.

If this for the What's Happening email - I am all for it.

John Howard: To clarify, by notifications, are you referring to the What's Happening email?
John Howard
Meredith Owens: yes, that is my intention, since some pages are used for internal administrative purposes, or part of a larger initiative, which may itself be announced by a specific News item, without the need for the component part to be announced separately in What's Happening.
Meredith Owens
John Howard: Thank you for explaining this. We've updated the post to more clearly clarify this.
