Syndicating a Channel

In order to syndicate a Channel, the Channel must be configured for transmission. Once configured, the Channel’s valid data may be syndicated.

To syndicate a Channel:

  1. Open the Feature Sidebar, open the Administration tab, open the Channel Readiness folder, and select Inbound or Outbound. The Channel Readiness View tab will appear.
  2. After each update to a Channel, whether the Channel itself was modified or records for the Channel were modified, the Channel Statistics must be updated.
  3. Select the Channel that is to be syndicated. It will be highlighted in blue.
  4. Begin the syndication by clicking the Update Statistics button to the right of the Channel’s name (it looks like an index card). A Job Specification window will appear.
  5. The Job Specification window notes the repository affected, the Saved Set of records to be validated, the Export Template to use, the transmission option, and the number of attributes and Category Attributes selected.
    Click the Transmit button to begin syndication and to return to the Channel Readiness View.
  6. A Confirmation window will appear that asks if EnterWorks should start the syndication. Select Run to begin transmission and to return to the Channel Readiness View.
  7. A syndication job is created and placed in the Job Queue. To view the job’s progress, open the Job Monitor from the Features Sidebar’s System tab or open a Job Monitor Widget in the Dashboard.
