Watch List Exclusions

Postby skids » Thu Aug 25, 2016 4:38 pm

I did a search but didn't get any hits on this.

Is there any way to do an exclusion in a Watch List?
For example: if I create a list for something like "Deer Hunter" one of the downloads would be" Australian Deer Hunter"

Is there any way to add an exclusion for the word "Australian"?

You can attach a filter profile to the watch list and then add "Subject Rejects" to this filter profile.

That should do it.

Wow, so simple. It's amazing the things that are right in front of you but you don't see them.

Again, many thanks!!!

It's pretty useful. You can use a relatively broad search string to the server and then filter down to just the records you want. You can also use the filter profile to only match the posters you like too.
