Watches
To configure a "watch", first select the icon in the main toolbar.
Click / tap the smaller icon adjacent to the "Watches" icon. There are three categories of Watch notifications:
Watch Booking Activity
Selecting the "Bookings" tab will display options allowing you to select which venue(s), booking type(s), and / or resource(s) you want to monitor for activity.Additional "AND"/"OR" and "{ }" grouping options are available to further refine your watch settings. "AND" means two or more conditions must be met, "OR" means either condition must be met to "trigger" a watched event. When three conditions are set (i.e. a Venue, Booking Type and Resource), the grouping brackets "{ }" are used to denote which two of these conditions should be matched first before the third. These options are all are best illustrated with some examples:
| Example | Options to select |
| Trigger only when activity occurs for a certain venue only | <Venue> |
| Trigger only when activity occurs for a certain booking type only | <Booking Type> |
| Trigger only when activity occurs for a certain resource only | <Resource> |
| Trigger when activity occurs for either a certain venue or a certain booking type | <Venue> OR <Booking Type> |
| Trigger when activity occurs for a certain booking type within a certain venue | <Venue> AND <Booking Type> |
| Trigger only when activity occurs for a certain venue, of a certain booking type, and includes a certain resource | <Venue> AND <Booking Type> AND <Resource> |
| Trigger only when a certain resource is added either to a certain venue or to a booking of a particular type | <Venue> {OR} <Booking Type> AND <Resource> |
| Trigger when activity occurs for either a certain venue or when a resource is added to a booking of a particular type | <Venue> OR <Booking Type> {AND} <Resource> |
Finally, there are a number of levels of monitoring available for your "watch":
New Additions Only
You will only be notified when new bookings that match your watch conditions are addedNew Additions & Modifications
You will be notified of any new additions or modified bookings that match your watch conditionsAdditions, Modifications & Removals
You will be notified of all booking activity that matches your watch conditionsRemovals Only
You will be notified of all removed bookings that match your watch conditionsModifications & Removals of my bookings by others only
You will only be notified if another user modifies/removes a booking that you've previously entered into MIDASWatch Consumable Levels
Selecting the "Consumables" tab will list all the consumables defined in MIDAS.You can then set a "threshold" for each consumable. When the quantity of that consumable falls below the "threshold" you set, MIDAS will trigger a notification for you that that particular consumable is running low, so that you can re-order supplies!
Watch Venue Availability
Selecting the "Venue Availability" tab allows you to select a date, time frame, and venue. If that date/time/venue combination is currently "Unavailable" (i.e. due to an existing booking) MIDAS will monitor that slot and will notify you should that slot become available again.The "Venue Availability" tab also lists all future date/time/venue combinations you're watching for changes in availability. To stop "watching" a particular slot, use its corresponding small icon.
Watch Invoice Payments
Selecting the "Invoice Payment" tab allows you to enable a Watch notification whenever a payment is received against an invoice.Notifications will be displayed whenever you log on to MIDAS (unless you've chosen not to receive such notifications), and whenever you select the icon in the main toolbar.
Additionally, you can use the "Also notify me of Watches via email" setting to have watch notifications sent to your email address as well. You'll find this setting via the icon in the upper right corner of your Notification Center.
