Defining RSS feeds
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) format is used to deliver regularly changing web content to users. RSS is a way to easily distribute updates notices, headlines, or content to a wide number of people. RSS works by having an author maintain a list of notifications at the defined location in a standard way. This list of notifications is called an RSS feed. People interested in the information provided by the RSS feed can subscribe to this list.
The notification usually consists of a simple title that describes the notification, sometimes including a more complete description, and a link to the web page where the actual information described is available. You must define RSS feeds in BMC Helix ITSM to which users can subscribe.
To define RSS feeds
- Select Application Administration Console > Custom Configuration > Foundation > Social Collaboration > RSS Feed Definition.
- Click Open.
- On the AR System Feed Definition form, provide the required information to define the RSS feed and then click Save.
