82 Part I Installation and Configuration
File System Watcher Details
Configuring the settings for a file system watcher involves choosing the device to
watch, entering a specific location on that device, and optionally adding media format
extensions to specifically watch for.
See “Creating Automations” on page 79 for information on opening Automation Setup
Assistant and getting to this pane by selecting File System Watcher.
To configure a file system watcher’s details:
1 Enter a name for the automation.
This is the name that will appear in the Watcher pane of the client’s Administration window.
2 Choose a device from the Device pop-up menu.
3 Select the Watch Subfolder checkbox if you want to specify a subfolder to be watched.
Leave this unselected if you want to scan only the root level of the device.
4 Enter a subfolder location on the device to watch (if applicable).
5 Optionally, click the Add (+) button to specify file types to watch for, based on
their extension.
6 Click Continue to go to the Responses pane.
See “Creating Automations” on page 79 for information on the Responses pane.
