3.6 Viewing Teaming Folders as RSS Feeds

RSS is a Web format used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines, or podcasts. An RSS document, which is often called a feed, contains either a summary of content from an associated Web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite Web sites in an automated manner that's easier than checking them manually. RSS enables you to subscribe to various RSS feeds and view those feeds in one convenient location.

You can set up a Novell Teaming folder to be accessed by an RSS reader. When you do this, the Teaming folder becomes an RSS feed, and sends new or modified folder entries to your RSS reader. This is an easy way to stay informed on activity in a certain folder.

To set up a Teaming folder as an RSS feed:

  1. Navigate to the folder that you want to set up as an RSS feed.

  2. Click the Footer toolbar, located at the bottom of the folder page.

  3. In the RSS URL section in the provided table, select and copy the RSS URL.

  4. In your RSS reader, create a new RSS feed, and paste the RSS URL that you copied in Step 3.

    The folder is now set up as an RSS feed, and entries that are created in the folder appear in your RSS reader.
