Intervals

Check every ...

Specify the channel update interval. We suggest to specify intervals about 2...3 times shorter than the average time between target page updates. In example, if you want to monitor weather conditions on some web site that updates information every 3 hours, set your interval to 1...1.5 hours. The shorter interval would be, the faster you will know that the page has been updated.

Alert & Display Modes

Set the alert mode for your channel. See How can WatzNewÖ notify me about changes? section for more info.

Alert On Errors

When an HTTP error occurs during the channel check, the alert box is displayed with the HTTP error code. This can be useful to be notified immediately when the page has been moved (HTTP error codes 3xx) or deleted from server (HTTP error code 404).

Alert On General Changes

When turned on, WatzNewÖ will check the page for general changes and inform you of updates. This is the simplest way to monitor your pages for updates, but not the efficient one, because most dynamically generated pages change their size or content every time you download them (in example, pages that have visitor counters, random quotations or news, etc.). To make your channel more "clever", you should define Search pattern and message template macros for it. Once your search pattern is defined, you should turn this option off to avoid false alerts.

Always visible in list

This option tells you to make channel always visible in list, even when you select 'ñ Show All But Disabled' or 'ñ Show Updated Only' filtering modes.
