In the Sources workspace, you can also add and edit feed types.

Each source can have multiple data subject areas, data types, associated with it. These are referred to as Feed Types. For example, if Bloomberg is to supply securities, prices, and ratings information to the database, then the Feed Types of securities, price, and ratings must be set up in the system. Feed types are only available for use with uploaders and exporters.
