About this task

In the mashup builder, when you open a page in edit mode, a palette displays. The palette contains several categories of widgets that you can drag directly onto your page. You can rename categories, move widgets from category to category, and more.

To add a feed to mashup builder:

Procedure

1. Click the title of the object to display the object details.
2. Click the Add to Mashup Builder link in the list of Actions.
3. If you did not log onto the mashup builder before you logged onto MashupHub, enter the logon information:
1. Specify the address or URL where the mashup builder server resides. The URL is to the base of the mashup builder Web site. For example, if you log on to the mashup builder at this URL https://myserver.myco.com:9080/mum/enabler, you specify this location https://myserver.myco.com:9080/mum.
2. If the mashup builder server is in a different administrative domain, enter your user ID and password. Usually, if you use the same user ID and password to access the mashup builder server and MashupHub, you do not need to specify the user ID and password.
   
   
4. Specify the title and description for the feed as it will be displayed in a widget in the mashup builder. Use the same title and description that you used for the feed in MashupHub or type a new title and description for the mashup builder.
