My Watchlist
My Watchlist enables notifications for metadata changes across various data objects, including databases, tables, table columns, reports, report columns, codes, APIs, API attributes, domains, terms, processing activities, and ROPA reports. To add items to "My Watchlist," go to Nine Dots> Add to My Watchlist. Notifications are sent to the inbox based on the preferences configured under My Profile > Notification Settings.
Filter, Sort, and Search Capabilities
Within each object type—whether it's databases, tables, table columns, reports, report columns, codes, APIs, API attributes, domains, terms, processing activities, or ROPA reports—users have several tools to manage and organize content:
Sorting: Sort the content according to their preferences.
Searching: Quickly locate specific content within the selected object type.
Filtering: Apply filters based on different criteria to refine content search.

Notifications
This section shows the objects for which users will receive notifications, based on the configuration set in My Profile > Notification.
Metadata changes
Configure notifications to data object details like Business and Technical descriptions, tags, terms, custom fields, governance roles, certification, or endorsement. This ensures that users are always aware of the latest information and that any modifications to the metadata are promptly communicated.
Source metadata changes
In addition to changes made within the instance, users can also receive notifications when the data object at the remote source is updated.
Significant data changes
This feature allows users to receive notifications regarding significant changes in a data object located at a remote source. These changes may include adding or deleting rows within the data object.
Define a threshold value between 0.0001% and 100% under "Notify on for Significant Data Change". Notifications will be triggered if the change in row count exceeds the defined threshold.
For example, if the threshold is set to 50% and the row count of the data object increases by more than 50%, a notification will be generated.
