# 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:&#x20;

* **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.

## Add Objects to Watchlist

The purpose of this section is to explain how to add different objects to a Watchlist.

### **Data Catalog**

Using Nine Dots, add different objects from the List View and Summary View, like databases, tables, reports, and more.
