Overview
The User Added RSS feature allows users to add publicly available RSS, including Atom feeds, to Nexis Newsdesk® for inclusion in search results.
RSS, Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary, is a type of web feed which allows users via an app to access updates to online content in a standardized, computer-readable format. These feeds can, for example, allow a user to keep track of many different websites in a single news aggregator, such as Newsdesk.
Key Points:
- User Added RSS feeds added under your account are available only to those users under your account.
- To include your account's User Added RSS feeds on Newsdesk, the RSS content type must be checked.
- You can rename the default.
