Methods for Publishing Feeds

The Feed Publishing Framework provides two methods for publishing feeds:

  • Feed Publishing Wizard.

  • Publish as Feed links and pages.

In a PeopleSoft system, administrative users and content owners with appropriate authorization can use either method to create, view, edit, and delete feed definitions related to a particular data source.

Feed Publishing Wizard

The Feed Publishing Wizard provides an easy to follow, four-step guide to publish feeds from any data source for the feed data types defined in the system. The Feed Publishing Wizard simplifies the creation and editing of feed definitions. In addition, the Feed Publishing Wizard:

  • Provides the ability to create and edit feed templates.

  • Allows you to specify data source parameters as personalized — that is, as user specified or administrator specified.

See Publishing Feeds Using the Feed Publishing Wizard.

Publish as Feed Links and Pages

The Publish as Feed links and Publish as Feed pages provide another access point and mechanism for publishing feeds. The Publish as Feed links can be found on the content maintenance pages for specific types of content only. In PeopleTools, these Publish as Feed links are found on the maintenance pages for content associated with the four delivered PeopleTools feed data types: FEED, GENERICFEED, PSQUERY, and WORKLIST.

When using these publish pages, the feed administrator is not guided, but must follow a defined process for creating a feed definition.

See Publishing Feeds Using the Publish as Feed Pages.
