Selecting Folders to Monitor
You can select and set a folder in Desktop to be monitored for added or updated documents.
When a folder is specified as a monitoring target, Document Monitor notifies you when there is an unread or updated document in the folder with an icon in the Taskbar or a sound. Unread documents in the target folder can also be highlighted.
When the destination of a hot folder is set as a monitored folder and a document is sent to the monitored folder using the hot folder function, Document Monitor notifies you with an icon in the Taskbar or a sound. For more information on hot folder settings, see the following.

Subfolders in the folder to be monitored are not monitored.
