Organizing Scout Monitors and Results
DigitalStakeout provides the ability to organize monitors and content in folders. This provides a “file system” for monitors and collected data. This is a typical parent/child folder relationship; if a folder is selected, monitors and stored results within all folders inside that folder will be selected.
How the Folder System Works
Account Level Folder <- When selected, ALL data from every monitor in the account will be searched.
Folder 1 <- When selected, ALL monitor data inside Folder 1 will be searched.
Folder 2 <- When selected, ALL monitor data inside Folder 2 will be searched.
How the Workflow & Alerting Interacts with Folder
Account Level Folder <- When selected, creating a rule will process against ALL data from every monitor in the account.
Folder 1 <- When a rule is created at the Folder 1 level, ALL monitor data inside Folder 1 will be processed by rule.
Folder 2 <- When a rule is created at the Folder 2 level, ALL monitor data inside Folder 2 will be processed by rule.
Creating an Organizing Folder
Navigate to the Manage Monitors screen. Your account name will be at the top. If this is your first folder, right click on your account folder, and select NEW FOLDER.
If this is an additional folder, you may repeat the instructions above to create a new folder, or right click on an existing folder to create a child within a parent folder.
Once you select "new folder", a screen will appear and you must name your folder.
Once you have named your folder, select Save.
- You can now drag existing Monitors into folders to segregate your data.
- By clicking on a Folder in the Setup page, you will be able to Add a Monitor to save results in that specific folder.
