<TITLE>Configuring RSS feeds</TITLE>
<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 &quot;RSS 2.0&quot; 
  link and an <img src="/xml?icon"> 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 &quot;RSS 2.0&quot; link or <img src="/xml?icon"> 
    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>
<h3>Firefox 1.5</h3>

  <li> To launch Sage in the browser, type <b>Alt-S</b> (or choose <b>Tools&gt;Sage</b>).</li>
