- Check for updates:
See if the content of the page has changed since the last time
(Be aware of dynamic pages: they change very often.
- New Sentence or words:
When watching the page, the NetBot will wait for the word to appear
on the Web page. Note: Do not put a sentence or word that already
is in the page.
- New link: The page
will be considered updated only if new links appear. They will be written
in the NetBot's log, same ting for the log of the parent category.
- New documents: The
page will be considered updated only if there are new documents in the
page. For that option to function properly you MUST specify the type
of file to be watched for in the dialog box. Enter the file extension
type, like
.doc for Word, .pdf for Acrobat Reader, etc.
- Watch a numeric value:
This option lets you keep a eye on a numeric value located in a web
page, like the value of a share, or the price of a product
on which you or someone has bid on.
The page has to be entered before entering this option
Enter the actual value to watch in the new window that appears.
DO NOT PUT A NUMBER THAT IS TOO SIMPLE, like 4 ou 8 … Orbiscope
will not be able to locate this value in the page, as the HTML code
propably already contains this value
The chosen value will appear in the NetBot Panel.
- Watch for pages going
offline : you will be notified as soon as the page is no longer
accessible, either because of a server failure or because it has been
withdrawn.
- Download all documents
: The NetBot will download for you all documents that have the
same file extension on the page you specified. For that option to function
properly you MUST specify the type of file to be watched for
in the dialog box.
Documents will be downloaded into the Orbiscope Download folder (in
the same directory as where you installed Orbiscope, but this option
is customizable.
