Simple feed

First element we need is a feed element. As you now know you have two possible ways to insert elements. In this guide I will use the right-click option.

Right-click on the root, and insert a feed element. Now the feed symbol is displayed with the name *<new>. In the edit area the name field is empty. Then I give it a name. In my case: SportFeed

Next I will create a destination. Right-click on the feed, and insert a destination. Then the edit windows will open a section browser. There I select the Sport section. This feed I want to put articles on the inbox named Inbox and position top. All these selections will I do in the editor window. Use the three dropdown menus: Type, Name and Position.

Now we have defined the feed and the destination. The last element we need is one or more sources. In this case it will be two: Tennis and Golf

Right click on the feed element, and choose insert source. Then the section tree will be displayed in the edit area. Select the wanted section. Here you also can set a filter. In this example it will be set to page. Repeat these steps to add more sources(as I will to add both Tennis and Golf).

This example will look as the figure above. Here you can see the feed element with the name SportFeed, the two source element(Golf and Tennis) and the destination Sports.

The feed we now has created will cross publish all articles that are added to the active index page of either Tennis or Golf to the Sports section. The articles that are fed will be added at the top of the inbox named Inbox.
