Feed Subscription

You are provided with a feed that is related to your daily work. Every user is provided with his or her own feed.

If you are using the Mozilla Firefox browser, you need to adapt your browser settings to use the Copy Link button in the feed personalization dialog, which you can access at the central personalization page of the WebClient UI. You need to configure the browser settings, so that the user can use this button. In this case, he or she needs to select the link and copy it manually to the feed reader. For more information about how to adapt the browser settings, see http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/securityprefs.html.
