Set up an RSS News Feed custom portlet

An
RSS News Feed
 custom portlet lets you add an RSS feed to any dashboard. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and RSS feeds let you scan lists of information quickly, such as current news items. You can select an item in the feed to read more, usually by way of a direct link to that item on the website where the RSS feed originates.
note
If you access Practice CS through Virtual Office CS or Software as a Service (SaaS), this portlet is not available.
  1. On the
    Custom Portlets
     screen, select the
    Add
     button to add a new portlet.
  2. In the
    Description
     field, enter a name for the portlet. This name will appear in the
    Select Portlets
     window and in the portlet’s title bar.
  3. In the
    Type
     field, select
    RSS News Feed
    .
  4. To create a portlet that all firm employees can view, mark the
    Allow others to view this portlet
     checkbox. If you leave this checkbox unmarked, only the staff member who creates the portlet can view it.
  5. In the
    Website
     field, enter the web address for the RSS feed you want to use and select the
    Go
     button next to the field.
    note
    • If you don’t know the address for the feed you want to use, you can enter the address for the website where the feed is located and select the
      Go
       button. Then select the dropdown on the
      View RSS news feeds
       button and select the feed you want from the list.
    • You can also choose one of the default feeds from the dropdown list in the
      Website
       field.
  6. When the preview window displays the RSS feed as expected, select
    Enter
     to save the new portlet.
