Understanding News Feed Configuration

The delivered External News pagelet is pre-configured to gather news content from partners. Administrative setup involves running the Schedule External News Feed process to gather the news periodically.

PeopleSoft Interaction Hub offers features that assist each organization in customizing news feeds and integrating subscription-based news. For example, you can deactivate news categories that are gathered by the batch process if the news is not appropriate for your users. You can then view the categories and decide which ones to make available to the rest of the organization. With this feature, you can allow users to see only business-related news by deactivating all consumer-related topics.

With additional features, you can:

• Create custom news pagelets for specialized news feeds and distribution to selected groups.

  For example, you can add customized news feeds about competitors and display them in an existing External News pagelet or in a newly created pagelet.

• Focus the audience on a specific news feed or category.

  For example, you can enable managers to view competitive intelligence.
