Viewing Channel Details

To view the details of a channel:

1. Select the channel from the View Area.

   You can select a channel from your currently subscribed channels list, which is accessed through the My Subscriptions button, or from the list of channels that results from a search.

2. Click the Details button ().

   Regardless of how the channel was invoked, the details of the resulting views are identical. However, if you selected a channel from your subscribed channels list, you can change the details of your subscription to the channel. If you selected a channel from a search list, the channel's details are read-only, and, therefore, cannot be changed.

   Two tabs contain details about the channel.

   • The Subscription tab contains the default properties that are associated with your subscription to the channel.

   • The Channel tab contains a description of the channel, its subject, and any associated keywords and reference keys. See Viewing Subscription Details.

   Note: If you cannot view existing channels to which you previously subscribed using SAS Subscription Manager, Release 1.1, your existing channel and subscriber definitions are out of date. To fix this problem, the publishing framework administrator at your site must explicitly update the schema files to SAS Release 8.2.
