Creating a News Package

A News Package is a subscription to a collection of third-party content sources offered by Siebel eContent Services. Your organization may subscribe to several news packages in several different languages. For example, your organization may subscribe to general sources in French, English, or Spanish languages or to specific sources for your industry, such as Finance, High Technology, and Life Sciences. As an administrator, you must set up your Siebel ERM application to include content from the news packages to which you subscribe.

To create a news package

  1. From the application-level menu, choose Site Map > Portal Administration > News Topic Manager.
  2. In the News Packages list, click New to create a news package record.

    3. The following table describes the fields in the new package record.

    Field
    Comments
    Access Group
    Select the access groups that have access to the news package.
    Inactive
    A check mark in this field indicates that the news package is not available to employees.
    Name
    Provide a name for the external news package. It is recommended that you use the package name provided in your letter.
    Parameter
    Enter the parameter exactly as it is provided in your letter. This parameter indicates to the Siebel Server the precise content to retrieve.

After you set up a news package, you can create the news topics. For more information on creating a news topic, see Managing News Topics.
