2.3. Using an RSS Feed URL

Before we can build a Klip we need some remote content to monitor. For this first Klip, we will use the news.com RSS feed at http://news.com.com/2547-1_3-0-5.xml.

[Tip]Tip

If you just wanted to monitor an RSS feed (and did not want to know about how Klips work), you can use the built-in Add an RSS Feed option from Klipfolio Dashboard's toolbar.

Klipfolio DashboardThe KPI Dashboard – Evolved

Klipfolio Dashboard extends the value of scorecard and dashboard software to the desktop with desktop dashboards for the enterprise. Unlike an enterprise widget, sidebar, or RSS reader, Klipfolio Dashboard is a real-time enterprise information system that improves data visibility and drives adoption of CRM, ERP, and Sales automation systems. Using a desktop dashboard to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), share KPI reports, and update performance metrics improves performance across the organization.

Marketing uses Klipfolio Dashboard to improve marketing ROI through integration with marketing automation software and Web analytics packages such as Google Analytics. In Sales, Klipfolio Dashboard brings sales automation tools like SalesForce.com to the desktop. Alternatively, Klipfolio Dashboard for Internal Communications delivers enterprise notifications and employee alerts to the workforce where they can't be missed. Finally, as a help desk dashboard, Klipfolio Dashboard is used to cut service desk response times and improve help desk ROI.
