Managing RSS Channels and Feeds

A Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed contains content in the form of pages from an associated website. A feed allows website visitors to receive automatic notifications when the page content is updated instead of having to visit the website directly. RSS feeds are associated with a channel that contain one or more website pages. The channels make up the feed that website visitors can receive.

Only Content Administrators can perform RSS tasks.

To manage RSS channels and feeds, first select Manage Site Assets > Engagement Tools > RSS Feeds and Channels from the main navigation menu to go to the Manage RSS Channels screen.

The screen defaults open to the RSS Feeds listing. You can see a listing of RSS feed names and descriptions as well as when their details were last edited and by whom. From here you can toggle to to see the RSS Channels listing instead.

From here you can

• Add new
• Edit the properties of an existing feed or channel
• Delete a feed or channel

There is no longer any need to set up RSS Scheduling in either the Admin UI or as a scheduled task. RSS feeds will be delivered upon request..

Note: Previous versions of iAPPS allowed more than one channel per RSS Feed, but in line with newer web standards RSS Feeds can now only contain one Channel from iAPPS version 5.0.
