News Feed Entities

As a Foxtrot admin user, I am able to create and manage news feeds for web and mobile app application.

News Feed Entities are individual content placements that make up a user's newsfeed. These placements can be used as an additional marketing or content placement. Newsfeeds appear on web and mobile apps for logged in customers.

See below for an example of a newsfeed. Each placement is one individual news feed entity:

To manage news feed entities, navigate to the News Feed Entities page in Foxtrot.

News Feed Entities: List View

When a user navigates to News Feed page, user sees a list view of all created News Feeds.

  • GID is the internal unique id of the news feed
  • Title is external facing copy that a customer will see
  • Type the link that the news feed will bring the customer
  • State shows the status of the news feed
  • Publish Date shows the date the news feed will go live
  • Scope shows if the page is scoped to specific segments or global (meaning default to all customers)

Search and filter by the below fields to view a select news feed:

  • Search and filter by GID
  • Search and filter by Title. Search is case sensitive
  • Search and filter by State
