Watching Domains

The Watch List was designed to keep track of domains which the user wishes to closely monitor. For example, domains which are currently in auction should be placed in the Watch List. Similarly, domains for which offers have been submitted or which are in negotiating stages should also be in the Watch List.

Though there are no strict rules as to what should and what shouldn't be in the Watch List, it is best to keep the list small (under 5,000 domains) and only store domains which are of interest to the user.

The Watch List offers a few more customization features. These are available right by right-clicking on a specific domain in the Watch List. For example, a custom status (Auction - Pool, Pending Purchase, Watching, Researching) can be assigned to any domain in the watch list. Additionally, custom alerts and other features are available.

Analyzing and Marking Results

It's always a good idea to double check all results before registering, backordering or submitting an offer for a domain. D.R.T. Allows for quick and easy verification of its results by right clicking on any domain and selecting "Confirm Results".

When you have found a domain you are interested or which you wish to highlight you may use the highlight feature by selecting a domain or a list of domains, right clicking on them and selecting the "Highlight" menu.

Changing Watch Status

The Watch Status tells YOU what the current status of the domain is. For example, domains currently in auction should have an "Auction - " as their watch status. Similarly domains for which offers have been submitted should have a "Offer Sent" status.

The change the status of a domain or a list of domains select which domains you wish to change the status for, right click on one of them and select the "Change Status" menu.

Additionally, you can change the status of an individual domain by double clicking on it and using the "Domain Information" window.

Overriding Domain / Column Data

For all domains in your Watch List it is possible to change the values displayed in any of the columns and to add notes and such for each domain.

To do this simply double click on any domain and update whichever field you want changed in the "Domain Information" window, then click save.

Setting Domain Alerts

You may set a domain Alert to go off on any date and at any time. To ensure that domain alerts always go off when they are suppose to make sure that D.R.T. Is loaded when Windows loads (General Settings window).

To set a new alert you must first add a domain to your Watch List. Once the domain exists in your Watch List double click on it to view the "Domain Information" window.

From the "Domain Information" window select "Alerts" and fill in the required fields. D.R.T. checks the alerts queue every 30 seconds. Alerts can be removed by setting the "Toggle Alerts" option box to "Off".

Alerts are automatically removed from the Alert queue when they are processed. All alerts are stored in the "alerts.txt" file located in the "app_Files" folder. Editing this file manually is NOT recommended.
