In Composer, open the module menu on the left sidebar and select Feeds.
Landing on the Feeds dashboard, select the individual district or school feed that needs configuration or a new source added.
To add a new source directly from the dashboard, click the + in the Source column. Alternatively, click the three-dot menu next to the Edit button on the far right.
Once inside the feeds configuration screen, click the red + Add New Source button.
