Test Feed dialog
The Test Feed dialog can be used to test connections to feeds. Using this dialog, users can check that these connections are valid and working.
To display the dialog, right-click a feed in the Live Data Feed view and select Test feed from the context menu.
| Field | Description |

However, if this option is disabled (by unchecking the checkbox), the data displayed in the Results grid will be data that has been modified by any lookup, offset, factor, and filtering specified for the feed (see Live Data Feed view). |
| Results grid |
