- A Name is required for the app and an optional Description.
- Select the News type that you want to display.

- Choose how many posts you want to display by configuring the Number of Posts.
- Optionally, enable the toggle to display the image of the post. Disabling it will display only the text of the post.

Availability
By enabling this option, you can set the media’s Availability. In other words, you can select a future and an expiration date, which means you can pick the exact date and time this media will be available for play on your screens.
Example
Imagine having an event that will start and end on specific dates. Setting an availability on the media you want to display on that event, the system will automatically start and stop displaying these media on the screen based on the dates you have set. No need to manually add/remove these media in your playlist/layout.💡By keeping this option disabled, the media will never expire (recommended)
