Creating and Working with Saved Search Feeds on Newsdesk

The Nexis Newsdesk^® service allows you to create feeds for your personal use or save feeds that can be visible across your organization. There are 3 types of feeds: 

• Clipping Feeds - these are feeds in which the articles are manually added to the feed. Clippings feeds give you complete editorial control over which articles and posts appear in the feed. For more information, see Clipping Feeds on Newsdesk.
• Saved Search Feeds - these are feeds in which the articles are automatically added to the feed based on the saved search or searches associated with the feed.
• User added RSS Feeds - these feeds allow end-users to add publicly available RSS or Atom feeds to Nexis Newsdesk for inclusion in search results. For more information, see User Added RSS Feeds on Newsdesk.  

Your personal feeds appear under My Content and the feeds you saved for company use appear under Shared Content. Only users in your organization with administrator privileges can save feeds to Shared Content.

Note: There is no limit to the number of feeds that can be saved.
