Subscribing to an RSS Feed

An RSS feed allows you to see changing information from a PPM application view in your RSS reader. You need to authenticate (provide your Daptiv logon information) in order to subscribe to the feed.

Note: This documentation assumes a familiarity with RSS and RSS readers. For more information, see the documentation for your specific reader.

You can subscribe to an RSS feed or create an RSS Permalink on these tabs: Documents, Discussions, Issues, News, Polls, Tasks, and any Dynamic applications your organization has added as tabs. You can also subscribe to an RSS feed on a dynamic application custom view in a workspace. For more information, see RSS Overview.

To subscribe to an RSS feed:

Navigate to the global application from which you want an RSS feed.
Click the RSS icon at the bottom of the list view.
Note: If you do not see this icon, verify that a view has been defined for you in the application. The icon only appears on defined views in the applications listed above.
Click Subscribe to this RSS feed.
The next step depends on whether or not you have an RSS "feed reader" installed:
If you have a local reader installed, it may prompt you to add the feed. You need to provide your Daptiv logon information to authenticate the connection.
If you do not have an RSS Reader installed, or if your reader does not prompt you to add the feed, the RSS XML displays in a browser window.
Copy the URL from the browser address bar and paste it into an RSS Reader.

You can change the format of the feed that your reader displays by adding one of the following switches at the end of the URL your reader uses to access the feed:
?html (this is the default)—The feed output is in HTML
?text—The feed output is in plain text
?xml—The feed output is in XML
?ppm6—The feed output is in PPM format

Note: Your reader may not support all output formats.

When the view changes, updated information is sent to your RSS reader. For example, if another enterprise user adds a task that appears on the view you subscribed to, that task will appear in your RSS reader.
