Explorer: Feeds Tab v5.0

The Feeds tab in the Explorer lists all your feed definitions. Click any feed's name to open it in the Feed Editor.

The Feeds tab

Type in the search box to instantly filter the list by name. The count below updates to show how many feeds match (e.g., "Showing 3 of 5").

Filters

The Feeds tab has two filter groups, each with toggle buttons:

Scope — Filter by where the feed is stored:

  • Portal — Feeds belonging to the current DNN portal
  • Global — Feeds shared across all portals
  • All — Show all

Usage — Filter by whether the feed is actively referenced:

  • In-Use — Feeds currently in use
  • Unused — Feeds not in use
  • Both — Show all

You can collapse the Filters section by clicking its heading.

Sorting

A dropdown below the filters lets you sort the list:

  • Name (A–Z) — Alphabetical order (default)
  • Modified (Newest) — Most recently edited first
  • Created (Newest) — Most recently created first

Actions Menu

Click the three-dot menu () on any feed to see the available actions:

  • Open — Open the feed in the Code Editor
  • Pin / Unpin — Pin the feed to the top of the list for quick access. Pins persist across sessions.
  • Rename — Change the feed's name
  • Duplicate — Create a copy of the feed with a new name
  • Add to Project — Add the feed to one or more projects
  • Delete — Permanently remove the feed

Unlike forms and views, feeds don't have a View Usage action because feeds aren't assigned to modules — they're accessed directly by URL.
