Watchlist User Guide
artrecord.com allows subscribers the ability to maintain their own watchlists. The concept is similar to that adopted by many financial market stock broking service providers.
A subscriber may create any number of watchlists. Once the watchlists are created any number of artists may be added to the watchlist. Graphical analysis of sales data
by year and media group is available for artists that are added to the watchlist.
For Example: subscribers can create a watchlist called "Heidelberg School". Add the artists Charles Conder, Frederick McCubbin, Tom Roberts, and Sir Arthur Streeton.
It is then possible to graph the performance of each artist by Year and Media Group, in this case the selected Media Group for each artist was Oil.
The following sections will describe the use of this function in detail. artrecord.com hopes you find this function useful.
