Copying Feed Definitions

Access the Copy Feed Definitions page (PeopleTools, Feeds, Copy Feed Definitions).

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Copy Feed Definitions page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Copy Feed Definitions page

Use the Copy Feed Definitions page to clone an existing feed definition to one with a new feed ID. The new feed definition is published with the same feed options and to the same sites as the original.

Field or Control Description

Data Type

Select from the following feed data types:

  • All Data Types returns a list of all feeds to which you have access.

    Note: This value is the default.

  • Real Time returns a list of real-time feeds.

  • Scheduled returns a list of scheduled feeds.

This field does not filter the search results; the results indicate whether a feed definition is published to the selected site.

Category

Select from the active feed categories defined on your system.

Keyword

Enter a keyword to narrow the search criteria. Keywords search the Feed ID, Feed Title, and Description fields and are not case sensitive.

Search

Click the Search button to return the list of available feeds that satisfy the search criteria that you entered.

Reset

Click the Reset button to clear the search results and reset all search criteria to their default values.

Feed Definitions

Select the feed from this grid that you wish to copy.

Note: The Published field indicates that the feed definition is published to the site selected in the Site Name field.

New Feed ID

Enter an ID for the new feed definition using only alphabetic characters (A–Z), numeric characters (0–9), and the underscore character (_).

Note: The system converts all lowercase characters to uppercase. In addition, it will convert any other special characters, such as a space, #, @, and so on, to an underscore.

Include Personalization Data

Select this option to copy user-specified and administrator-specified data source parameter values along with the feed definition.
