Working in KnowledgeTree's Web Interface > Dashboard > RSS Feeds

KnowledgeTree's RSS feeds feature allows you to set up subscribe to content on the Internet, and to content in the KnowledgeTree repository.

 

RSS Feeds Dashlet

The RSS Feeds dashlet on the KnowledgeTree Dashboard displays a list, in a drop down menu, of your RSS Feeds to external content - e.g. to websites, webpages, blogs, etc. outside of the repository. Internal RSS Feeds may also be set up on content in the repository, and these RSS Feeds display on the RSS Feeds dashlet, and provide information on the documents in the folder where you have the RSS Feed set up.

 

 

RSS, and KnowledgeTree Security

KnowledgeTree RSS uses http authentication to protect content in the repository from unauthorized and/or anonymous access. You will therefore only be able to access RSS Feeds on those documents and folders where you have at least view permissions defined in KnowledgeTree for your user profile, and specific to the content you're attempting to access through the RSS Feed. For this reason, you will need to enter your KnowledgeTree username and password when subscribing to a RSS Feed.

 

 

How can I set up RSS Feeds in KnowledgeTree?

There are three ways to use RSS Feeds in KnowledgeTree:

 

1.Set up External RSS Feeds:  To subscribe to external content (news, blogs, etc.) from within KnowledgeTree, click Manage External RSS Feeds on the RSS Feeds dashlet.

 

2.Subscribe to a document or folder in the repository: You will be notified via RSS Feed when actions are occur on the document or folder. These internal RSS feeds display on the RSS Feeds dashlet.

 

3.Set up an RSS feed on a document or folder, and use an external RSS Reader to monitor this content from outside KnowledgeTree.   To do this, browse to the document or folder in KnowledgeTree; then, click the RSS icon in Actions on this Folder / Document Actions (as applicable) in Browse Documents. Copy and paste the system generated link into an RSS aggregator to create the feed. You will be notified of any changes on the document or folder via the RSS feed.

Note: Ensure that your RSS reader is RSS 2.0 compatible.
