Accessing RSS feeds

To access RSS feeds, you subscribe to published filters. When you subscribe, you can choose how to display data and copy the feed URL so you can add it to your RSS aggregator or a web page. Feeds can display a summary of items that pass the filter with a link to the related items or the number of items that pass the filter and the total number of items in the project.

Most web browsers no longer provide native support for RSS feeds. You may need to use other methods to view feeds.

1. Choose View > Filters to open the Filters list window.

2. Select the published filter to subscribe to. An RSS icon is displayed next to published filters.

3. Click Subscribe.

The Subscribe dialog box opens.

4. Select a data format.

List of items displays a list of items that pass the published filter. The item number, summary, description (first 128 characters), status, and a link to the related item are displayed. Select RSS feed using http hyperlinks to items to provide an http hyperlink for Helix ALM Web users. Select RSS feed using ttstudio hyperlinks to items to provide a ttstudio link for Helix ALM Client and Web users. Helix ALM Web users can only open ttstudio links if the URL Redirector is installed on their computer.
Number of records passing the filter and total number of records displays the number of items that pass the published filter and the total number of items in the project. For example, this data can be used to publish charts and graphs that communicate overall project status on an internal web page.

The RSS feed using http hyperlinks to items option is only available for published issue filters.
