RSS Feeds Widget Setup

The administrator must have the ACTIVE HOME PAGE ADMIN permission to create, edit, and delete Active Home Pages. See Assigning the Active Home Page Permission.

The RSS Feeds widget is configured by the administrator to display RSS feeds that correspond directly with your industry.

To view this widget from an end user's perspective, see RSS Widget.
