New: Get updates on your assets via RSS feeds

Now you can get updates on changes to your assets, inventory, help desk tickets or new risks in your account using the new RSS feeds feature. Each module (such as Inventory, Contracts, Risks and Helpdesk) fully supports output via RSS feeds to make it easy on you to take your information and use it in your favorite feed reader.

Subscribe to your RSS feeds

To activate the new feature and subscribe to an RSS feed for any of the modules in your account, simply click on the RSS icon on the upper right corner of each view (located together with the CSV/PDF/Print icons) or click on the RSS icon in your browser’s URL address. Your browser will redirect you to the default RSS reader and let you add that feed to your reader.

Some ideas to get you started

1. Audit – create a feed of audit events in your inventory – makes it easy to review the audit log and track changes across your inventory. Note this feed is quite large and frequently updated.
2. Risks - view new risks detected in your inventory.
3. New computers/software – activate the RSS feed on the “New computers/software” view to get a listing of new computers/software across your network in the last week.
4. New tickets - view new tickets in your help desk and always stay on top of new support requests.
5. Search phrases – run a search query and get the results as a feed – a great way to create custom alerts on changes to your assets.
