RSS/Atom Feed Portlets

You can publish information from news sources on your dashboard. By default, NetSuite offers you feeds by CNN, Reuters, Yahoo, CBS Market Watch, and more. In addition to the predefined feeds, you also can choose to display custom RSS feeds from other sites, or to create a custom feed to publish messages to users of your NetSuite account. Generally, you can include a maximum of two RSS/Atom feeds per page.

Note:

Currently, you can add only two RSS feeds each on the home tab and Issues tab (if available). There is no limitation on the number of RSS feeds on custom tabs. For information, see Creating Center Tabs.

To add an RSS/Atom feed portlet to a page:

  1. Click Personalize in the upper right corner of your dashboard or use Personalize Dashboard in the Settings portlet.

  2. On the Standard Content tab of the Personalize Dashboard palette, click the RSS/Atom Feed icon or drag it onto the dashboard.

To set up an RSS/AtomFeed portlet:

  1. Click Set Up in the portlet menu to open the setup popup window.

    RSS Feeds popup window.

  2. Select an RSS feed from the Source list.

    If you select one of the sources that NetSuite provides, the Feed URL field automatically contains the correct URL.

    If you select Custom, enter the URL of the feed in the Feed URL field. This URL can be from a website or from your own set of HTML pages used as an RSS feed.

    To find the URL for a website’s feed:

    1. Go to the website, and look for an RSS/XML link or RSS icon icon.

    2. Click the link or icon to open the feed page.

    3. Copy and paste this page's URL into the setup window's Feed URL field.

    To learn how to create your own custom RSS feed, see Creating Custom RSS/Atom Feeds.

  3. In Number of Links, type the number of links you want to appear in the portlet.

  4. If you want to display links only, without additional details, clear the Show Details box. The details that are displayed depend on the RSS feed.

  5. Click Save.

    You now can see the feed information in the dashboard portlet.

If the portlet takes up too much space on your dashboard, click Set Up again and reduce the number of links or clear the Show Details box.
