Data feeds store or provide access to the raw data. For example a Form provides a data entry form for a user to fill in. Other feeds could take data from an RSS source elsewhere on the web. Data feeds are normally used to provide a source of data for Queries, that process the data before handing it on for display by Views.

Form

The Form provides general purpose structured data storage, based around the concept of a relational database table. In addition to defining the structure of the data being stored, it:

• provides a data entry form;
• sends email notifications when records are added or changed.

User Data Feed

The User Data Feed provides access to the user data stored by the security subsystem (and normally viewed through the User Manager)

RSS Data Feed (under development)

This component provides access to an RSS feed provided by an external site.
