Import feeds

To copy multiple feeds to IBM Syndicated Feed Portlet, use the import capability. By using this feature, we can import the feeds available as an OPML URL, to IBM Syndicated Feed Portlet. Use appropriate Outline Processor Markup Language (OPML) URLs to import multiple feeds into IBM Syndicated Feed Portlet.

We cannot import feed xml files from the file system into IBM Syndicated Feed Portlet using the Import functionality. Importing of feeds is supported only when an appropriate OPML URL is specified.

Perform the following steps to import feeds:

1. From the portlet menu, select Personalize, Edit Shared Settings, or Configure. The General tab is selected, by default.

2. On the Subscriptions page, click Import.

3. Set an appropriate OPML URL in the Enter a URL for the subscriptions to import text field.

4. Click OK to add the feeds specified by the OPML URL into IBM Syndicated Feed Portlet. The feeds are added to the IMPORT_FOLDER feed category in the IBM Syndicated Feed Portlet.
