You can manage the RSS channels on your system through AFO 653. The RSS channels are shown in a select list, which is preceded by a bordered window. The bordered window contains the following information:
· the total number of RSS channels in the V-smart database;
· the number of active RSS channels;
· the filters applied to the presentation.
The overview screen shows the following information:
A warning icon is displayed for channels that are in use if the difference between Last update and Current date is bigger than the value of the Last update warning parameter (see below for more information on this parameter).
[Please note that sorting the feeds by clicking on the data will sort only 90 entries and not the full list. If you navigate past the first 90 entries, the system will sort on the entries you have looked at so far. You should use filter to restrict the number of feeds to get a manageable overview of the supplied feeds.]
