Example: Creating a Channel

The New Channel wizard guides you through the process of creating a new channel. (See Managing Channels for information about how to open the New Channel wizard.)

To create a channel using the New Channel wizard, do the following:

  1. Specify a name for the channel. The channel name must be unique within its folder (if it is in a folder) or within the Channels node (if it is not in a folder).

  2. Optionally, specify a description and a subject for the channel. The Subject can be used to provide a general "short description" of the channel's purpose.

  3. Optionally, specify one or more keywords for the channel. Keywords enable you to provide more detailed description and can also be used in keyword searching. To add a keyword (which can be a single word or a phrase), click Add and specify the keyword in the Add Keyword dialog box. Click OK to add your keyword to the keyword list.

  5. Optionally, select subscribers to associate with this channel. Use the Package and Event tabs to select package subscribers and event subscribers. For each type, select zero or more subscribers in the Available list and click the right arrow to move them to the Selected list. Use the double-right arrow to move all subscribers from the Available list to the Selected list.
