NOTES CLIENT INSTALLATION AND SMART UPGRADE
Controlling preset feeds prior to Notes install
To control which preset feeds are available to Notes users, you can modify the supplied deploy\extras\presetfeeds.opml file prior to installing Lotus Notes. You can also export feeds from an existing feed reader into PRESETFEEDS.OPML.
Adding preset feeds
You can add preset feeds to the PRESETFEEDS.OPML file by either exporting from another reader to an .opml file and copying that content into PRESETFEEDS.OPML or by editing PRESETFEEDS.OPML using a text or XML editor. Alternatively, you can overwrite PRESETFEEDS.OPML content with the OUTPUT.OPML file from another reader.
Removing preset feeds
You can remove or comment out any supplied preset feeds from the PRESETFEEDS.OPML file.
If you do not want any preset feeds, you can remove or rename the PRESETFEEDS.OPML file.
Subscribing to preset feeds after Notes install
The "Subscribe to preset feeds icon" is available in Notes from the Feeds user interface. After subscribing, or after toggling the icon off using the File - Preferences user interface sequence, you can redisplay the "Subscribe to preset feeds" icon using the following procedure:
1. Click File - Preferences.
2. Click Feeds.
3. Enable Show "Subscribe to preset feeds" button on the toolbar and click OK.
4. Click the Feeds icon in the Notes side shelf to open the Feeds user interface. The "Subscribe to preset feeds" icon contains the round feeds graphic.
5. Click the "Subscribe to preset feeds" icon to subscribe to the feeds obtained from the Notes installer's deploy\extras\presetfeeds.opml file.
Note If a feed cannot be read, a log file entry is created during the "Subscribe to preset feeds" process.
You can subscribe to new feeds or unsubscribe from existing feeds by using the Feeds user interface as described in Lotus Notes help.
