<H3>Configuring RSS feeds</H3>
<p>Using P4Web, you can configure RSS feeds that display:</p>
<ul>
<li>latest submitted changelists</li>
<li>newest jobs</li>
<li>jobs filtered by a selected user's jobview</li>
<li>latest submitted changelists affecting the files reviewed by a selected
user</li>
</ul>
<p>You must have an RSS news aggregator/reader installed, such as Sage for Mozilla.
Some browsers can be configured for RSS feeds. Check whether your preferred
browser can be configured to work with a RSS news aggregator/reader. Standalone
RSS aggregators/readers are also available.</p>
<p>To enable you to configure an RSS feed, P4Web displays an "RSS 2.0"
link and an <img src="../icons/xml.gif"> button on the following P4Web pages:</p>
<ul>
<li>Submitted changelists</li>
<li>Jobs</li>
<li>User Specification (for JobView and Reviews)</li>
</ul>
<p>To create an RSS feed:</p>
<ol>
<li>Browse to the desired P4Web page. On the <b>Submitted Changelists</b> and
<b>Jobs</b> pages, you can use filtering to display the information you want.</li>
<li>Copy the link location from the "RSS 2.0" link or <img src="../icons/xml.gif">
button to the clipboard (right-click and choose the context menu option that
copies the link to the clipboard<b></b>).</li>
<li>Define a feed for your RSS news aggregator/reader using the link you copied
in step 2.</li>
</ol>
<p>Detailed, browser-specific instructions follow.</p>
