Newsletter Type

There are two steps in creating a Newsletter. The first step is to set up a Newsletter Type in which you name your newsletter, select a design and create a path on your site that all the newsletters created using this type will fall under. You may create several newsletter types on your site, each with its own set of newsletter content. For example you may have several newsletter audiences and have a faculty newsletter, student newsletter and even an alumni newsletter. All newsletter types will also have their own unique URL path on your site.

Add a Newsletter Type

  1. Using the admin menu: select Structure > Taxonomy.
  2. Select Taxonomy from the list of options.
  3. Select List terms next to Newsletter.

Configure Newsletter Type

  1. Name:  enter the name of your newsletter.
  2. Description: only site editors can view the description.
