Using RSS

Several of the modules support content syndication using the RSS (Really Simple Syndication) XML format. Using the RSS subscription feature, you can easily monitor progress of the project, a set of issues or even changes to a single file .

The system supports RSS feeds in:

  • SystemTimeline -- Use the RSS feed to subscribe to project events.
    Monitor overall project progress in your favorite RSS reader.
  • SystemReports -- Allows syndication of report results.
    Be notified about important and relevant issue tickets.
  • SystemBrowser -- Syndication of file changes.
    Stay up to date with changes to a specific file.

How to access RSS data

Anywhere RSS is available, you should find a small orange 'XML' icon, typically placed at the bottom of the page. Clicking the icon will access the RSS feed for that specific resource.

Note: Different modules provide different data in their RSS feeds. Usually, the syndicated information corresponds to the current view. For example, if you click the RSS link on a report page, the feed will be based on that report. It might be explained by thinking of the RSS feeds as an alternate view of the data currently displayed.
