3.7 Viewing Vibe Folders as RSS or Atom Feeds

RSS and Atom are Web formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines, or podcasts. RSS and Atom documents, which are often called feeds, contain either a summary or full content from an associated Web site. RSS and Atom make it possible for people to keep up with their favorite Web sites in an automated manner that's easier than checking the sites manually. RSS and Atom enable you to set up feeds to Novell Vibe folders and view those feeds in one convenient location.

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

To set up a Vibe folder as an RSS or Atom feed:

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

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

  3. If you are setting up an RSS feed, in the RSS URL section in the provided table, select and copy the RSS URL.

    or

    If you are setting up an Atom feed, in the ATOM URL section in the provided table, select and copy the Atom URL.

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

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