{{eyecatch|Note|This page has been significantly and incompletely updated based on observed functionality to reflect the current status of AniDB.  The content should be reviewed and corrected as required.}}
'''Notifications''' can be selectively enabled to notify the user of all new [[Fileentries|file entries]] for a given [[AniDB Definition:Anime|anime]] or from a given [[Content:Files#Group|group]] that meet specified criteria until the notification is revoked.  Additional notifications may be enabled on the Notifications tab of the user's [[Profile]].  [[AniDB Clients]] may offer different notifications and options than detailed herein.

On every anime-page, on the right next to the picture, you'll find the line:<br>
Anime Notifications may be triggered when new file entries are added to a specific anime from any source.  Additional criteria regarding the type and source of file as well as the priority of the notification may be specified.

{{eyecatchLight|Note|Duplicate notifications may be generated if both Anime and Group Notifications are enabled and applicable to a given file.}}
 
===Anime Notification Types===
{{eyecatchLight|Note|When changing the Notification Type, the Notification Episode Type is currently reset to "All".}}
 
====all (default)====
Files for the given anime, regardless of status.  If a notification is enabled by specifying only the Notification EP Type, this Notification Type criteria will be enabled by default.
====new====
Files for an episode of the given anime that is not in the user's [[MyList|My List]].  This criteria is independent of the status of other episodes in the user's My List.
====group====
Files by a group, whose other file(s) for the given anime have been added to the user's My List.  This criteria is independent of the status of other anime in the user's My List.
====complete====
{{eyecatchLight|Note|As the completion of specials is inherently indeterminate, Notification EP Type changes are currently silently ignored for Notification Type "Complete".}}
Files for the final (or last) non-special episode of the given anime.  This criteria is independent of the availability of files for other episodes for the given anime.
{{eyecatchLight|Note|This coincides with the group status finished, and does not necessitate group status complete.}}
====uncensored====
{{eyecatch3|h}}Files that are uncensored.
{{eyecatchLight|Note|This section has been modified for consistency and grammar only.  Accuracy of content is unknown.}}
 
===Anime Notification Episode Types===
This criteria corresponds to the [[Content:Episodes#Type|episode type]] of [[Content:File_relations#File-Ep_Relations|file-episode relations]].  This criteria is abbreviated "Notification EP Type", and the valid selections are dependent upon the currently configured Notification Type.
{{eyecatchLight|Note|The links for invalid combinations are not disabled; however, clicking a link that would result in an invalid combination has no effect and does not provide any feedback except for an unchanged hyperlink state.}}
 
====all (default)====
Files for any episode of the given anime, regardless of the episode type.  If a notification is enabled by specifying only the Notification Type, this Notification EP Type criteria will be enabled by default.  This is the only Notification EP Type that is compatible with the complete Notification Type.  This Notification EP Type will be forced if the Notification Type is changed to be incompatible with the existing Notification EP Type.
====no special====
Files for any Regular (non-prefixed) episode of the given anime.
====only special====
Files of the given anime for any episode that is denoted with a prefix, including the following types:
* Special (S prefix)
* Opening/Ending/Credits (C prefix)
* Trailer/Promo/Ads (T prefix)
* Parody (P prefix)
* Other (O prefix)
{{eyecatchLight|Note|Unknown whether this is implemented as any episode type ''except'' Regular <nowiki>[eg char(1) eptype column != NULL]</nowiki> or an explicit comparison to the specific episode types listed above.}}
 
====only S special====
Files for any Special (S prefix) episodes of the given anime.  The capital letter S in the Notification EP Type is a reference to the prefix of the Special Episode Type.
====normal and S special====
Files for any Regular (no prefix) or Special (S prefix) episodes of the given anime.
 
===Anime Notification Priority===
{{eyecatchLight|Note|This section is entirely speculative based on prior article content and observations.}}


Enabling these notifications will cause AniDB to send you a message (on the page - no email) every time a new file is added to that anime, so that you won't overlook important additions anymore. This is also useful for animes without any file added at all.<br>
The means of notification can be selected by the specifying the corresponding priority, after a notification has been enabled.
The amount of notifications you'll receive for this anime depends on the option you choose:<br>


:*<b>all</b><br>
====low====
:You'll be notified of every file.
Does not actually notify the user; however, the notification is logged into the user's Notification History.


:*<b>new</b><br>
====medium (default)====
:This setting relies on your mylist: You will only be notified if you don't already have a file for that episode in your list.<br>
Notifies the user tersely in the account submenu and verbosely in the layout hint. The notification is logged into the user's Notification History.
:<small>Example: You have files for the episodes 1, 3 and 4 in your list. If someone adds another file to ep 1, 3 or 4 you won't be notified. If someone adds a file to ep 2, you will.</small>
====high====
{{eyecatchLight|Note|Effect of this priority is unknown.}}


:*<b>group</b><br>
===Configuring Anime Notifications===
:This setting also relies on your mylist: You will only be notified of those files that match any of the groups you already have files for (from this anime).<br>
Notifications can be enabled, modified, and revoked on the [[Animeentries|Anime Entry]] and [[Anime Calendar]] pages. Notifications can be modified or revoked on the [[MyNotifies|My Notifies]] anime page. The means of notification can be configured in the user's [[Profile]].
:<small>Example: You have files from group A and group B for the anime. If someone adds a new file of group C to the anime, regardless of the episode the file is added to, you won't receive a notification. If someone adds a file from group A or B to any episode (including those you already have files for), you will be notified of it.</small><br>


:*<b>complete</b><br>
From the Anime Entry page, click a link on the "Notification Type" or "Notification EP Type" rows to enable a notification with the other options at the defaults.  The notification can be revoked by clicking the "disable" link on the "Notification" row, or modified by clicking any other link on the "Notification", "Notification Type", or "Notification EP Type" rows.
:You will only be notified if a final episode has been added by a group.


After enabling a notification for an anime, you can remove it everytime on the same page.
From the Anime Calendar page, the "Notification Type" and "Notification EP Type" rows for a given anime function in the same manner as the corresponding rows on the Anime Entry page.  However, the "Notification" row has been replaced with two select boxes corresponding to the "Notification Type" criteria and priority selection, which must be specified in that order and then enabled or modified by clicking the "Update" button.  If a notification has been enabled, it will be shown with a bell, otherwise a gray silhouette of a bell will be shown.
{{eyecatchLight|Note|It is unknown whether the "Update" button will similarly update all enabled or modified notifications, or just those specific to the anime listing that contains the "Update" button.}}


<u>Hint:</u> You can manage your exisiting notifications by visiting [[myplace]] -> [[my notifies]].
From the My Notifies anime page,


==Group Notifications==
==Group Notifications==
{{eyecatchLight|Note|The content in this section is speculative based on prior article content and apparent correlations to Anime Notifications.}}


Group notifications work very similar to anime notifications. Basically the only difference is that they work on a per group basis instead of a per anime basis.
Group Notifications may be triggered when new file entries are added from a specific group to any anime. Additional criteria regarding the type of file as well as the priority of the notification may be specified.  Note that group notifications do not appear to have episode type criteria.


:*<b>all</b><br>
{{eyecatchLight|Note|Duplicate notifications may be generated if both Anime and Group Notifications are enabled and applicable to a given file.}}
:You'll be notified of every file released by that group.


:*<b>new</b><br>
===Group Notification Types===
:This setting relies on your mylist: You will only be notified if you don't already have a file for that episode in your list.<br>
:<small>Example: If that group releases a new file for any anime and you have files for it's episodes 1, 3 and 4 in your list. If someone adds another file for that anime to ep 1, 3 or 4 you won't be notified. If someone adds a file to ep 2, you will.</small>


:*<b>group</b><br>
====all====
:This setting also relies on your mylist: You will only be notified of files released by the group if you already have files by that group for the anime.<br>
Files from the given group, regardless of anime or episode type.
:<small>Example: You have set a group notify for group X. You have some files by group Y for anime A but not B. If group X releases a file for anime A you will be notified. If group X releases a file for anime B, you will not be notified.<br>
====new====
:Setting a group notify on an anime and setting a group notify on the only group you collect files for that anime for is completely equivalent.  
Files from the given group, for an episode of the given anime that is not in the user's [[MyList|My List]].  This criteria is independent of the status of other episodes in the user's My List.
:In other words you have two ways of being notified about new files by groups you're collecting:
{{eyecatchLight|Note|Prior article content seemed to indicate this criteria was '''not''' independent of other groups.}}
:* add a group notify to each anime you're collecting
====group====
:* add a group notify to each group for which you're collecting the releases
Files from the given group, whose other file(s) for the corresponding anime have been added to the user's My List.
:Note: you can actually end up getting two notifications for the same file. One on anime and one on group level, if you set the notification settings accordingly.</small><br>
====complete====
Files from the given group, for the final (or last) non-special episode of any anime. This criteria is independent of the availability of files for other episodes for the given anime.
{{eyecatchLight|Note|This coincides with the group status finished, and does not necessitate group status complete.}}
====blacklist====
{{eyecatchLight|Note|Effect unknown.  This may preclude the group's files from triggering Anime Notifications...}}
===Group Notification Priority===
This is presumed to function in the same manner as the [[#Anime Notification Priority|Anime Notification Priority]].


:*<b>complete</b><br>
===Configuring Group Notifications===
:You will only be notified if a final episode for any anime has been added by that group.
Notifications can be enabled, modified, and revoked on the [[Groupentries|Group Entry]] page.  Notifications can be modified or revoked on the [[MyNotifies|My Notifies]] group page.  The means of notification can be configured in the user's [[Profile]].


==Related Profile Settings==

* Notifies only for files in my language (audio and subtitles)
* File Audio/Sub Language Preference


==Additional Notifications==
Additional Notifications may be enabled in the user's Profile settings in the Notification Types section of the Notifications tab.

Make sure you check your profile settings.
==Means of Notification==
{{eyecatchLight|Note|The correlation to the Notification Priority selection is unknown.}}
 
The means of notification can be configured in the user's profile on the Notifications tab.
* Notify by pop-up
* Notifications via RSS/RDF Feeds - [[RSSRDF]]
* Notifications via Jabber Instant Messages - [[Jabber]]


==About popup-blockers==
==Profile Notification Settings==
When using a popup-blocker, it may prevent the notification-popup from showing up. You'll then nonetheless find a reminder on every page, that informs you of the notification(s).<br>
There are several settings on the Notifications tab of the user's Profile.
http://mitglied.lycos.de/zenigata/anidb/newnotification.jpg<br>
Please configure your popup-blocker to at least allow actively requested popups - or better: allow all popups from "http://anidb.info".
(If you don't want popups, you can simply disable them in your [http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=profile profile].)


==Other notification means==
* Clear notifies when opening notification history
Besides the popups and links on AniDB you can also receive notifications directly.<br>
* Notifies only for files in my language (audio and subtitles)
For more information, refer to:
* File Audio/Sub Language Preference
* Notifications via Jabber Instant Messages - [[Jabber]]
* Notifications via RSS/RDF Feeds - [[RSSRDF]]
* Notifications via UDP Clients - [[UDP_Clients]], [[UDP_API_Definition]]
