Understanding the Steps to Publish Worklist Feeds

You can use either of these methods to publish a worklist as a feed:

• Using the Publish as Feed pages.

  When you use the Publish as Feed pages to publish a worklist as a feed, you will have access to the Advanced Options page, which facilitates setting advanced feed options for this type of feed. However, you will be unable to personalize any data source parameters — that is, as user-specified or administrator-specified.

• Using the Feed Publishing Wizard.

  When you use the Feed Publishing Wizard to publish a worklist as a feed, you will be able to personalize data source parameters — that is, as user-specified or administrator-specified. However, it is more difficult to set advanced feed options through the Feed Publishing Wizard because they are set by value, and not by selecting a native language option.

Because there advantages and limitations of both methods of publishing a worklist as a feed, you might want to publish the feed using one methodology, and then use the other methodology to edit the feed definition.
