News is an internal communication feature within the ForceManager (Sage Sales Management) platform. It allows organizations to publish and distribute company updates, sales announcements, and operational information directly inside the CRM. The feature ensures that sales representatives receive relevant messages in the same system they use for daily work. News items are centrally managed and made visible to users based on their role, supporting consistent communication and reducing reliance on external channels such as email.
