What is the deviantWATCH and how do I manage my deviantWATCH listing?

The deviantWATCH is a system that allows you to keep track of multiple deviants. The deviantWATCH can notify you via your message centre of new deviations, scraps, journals and polls created by the deviants on your watch list.

Managing Your deviantWATCH

You can manage your deviantWATCH by clicking the Friends drop down listing at the top of most deviantART pages. Once the list drops down click on Add/Remove and you will be taken to your management page. Additionally you can also click on More followed by Account Tools and then My Friends to access this page as well.

In your deviantWATCH listing you will notice several check boxes, the following describes what each of these check boxes do. Please note that for any changes to take effect you must click on the 'Update' button, located at the bottom of the pages, after making any changes.

• Friends - Checking this box places the corresponding deviant or deviants on your friends list.



• Deviations - Checking this box will notify you via your message centre of all deviations submitted or edited by that particular deviant or deviants.



• Journals - Checking this box will notify you via your message centre of all journals and polls that particular deviant(s) creates.



• Scraps - Checking this box will notify you via your message centre of all scraps submitted by that particular deviant or deviants.



• Remove - Checking this box will remove the corresponding deviant or deviants from your deviantWATCH.

Adding Users to Your deviantWATCH

Entering a username in the "Add a Deviant" section will allow you to manually add users to your watch list. You can also do this by visiting their userpage and clicking on 'Watch this deviant'.

Groups

The Group section allows you to separate your deviantWATCH list into separate sections/groups. For instance, if you had 12 people on your list where 6 were photographers, and 6 were poets, you could create two groups one for photography and one for poetry, and then move each member to their respective group. This would then allow you to send the same note to all the members in that group. If you want to remove the group at any point in time simply click the remove link next to the group's name on the right hand side. Note that removing the group will not remove the deviants in that group from your deviantWATCH; only the group will disappear.

The following explains in more detail how to create groups and add deviants to them. Note that the following assumes you are viewing the 'Manage My Friends' page.

• Create a Deviant Group - Type your desired group name in the field provided and click the submit button directly underneath it.



• Deviant Groups - Once you have added a group the name will appear here, with a 'Remove' link to the right of it. All groups you have created will be displayed here.



• Add a Deviant - Type the deviants name and using the drop down box underneath it select which group you want to place that deviant in. Once you have done that click submit.
