Subscriptions Settings

This page will document application settings found under the Subscriptions category in the settings window.

Enable Automatic Subscriptions

Control whether or not to automatically subscribe to all the available subscriptions for an account after importing it. Enable this setting if you would like to catch every possible subscription event Polkadot Live has to offer for the account, and don't want to manage subscriptions manually.

Turned On

All available subscriptions for an account will be enabled after importing it. For example, if the imported account has joined a nomination pool, all nomination pool subscriptions will be turned on automatically.

Turned Off

No subscriptions will be turned on upon importing accounts. You are required to turn on subscriptions manually via the account's subscription settings in the main window.

Keep Outdated Events

Control whether to keep old event items listed in the UI upon receiving a new event item of the same subscription.

info

Rest assured that old events are considered on an account basis. This means that if the accounts of Alice and Bob have both turned on the balance subscription and Bob receives a new event item for that subscription, only Bob's old balance event items will be removed.

Turned On

Old event items will be kept and managed by the application. You are able to track past subscription events. No old event items will be lost when a new one is received.

Turned Off

Outdated event items will be removed when a new event item of the same subscription is received for an account.

For example, if an account's free balance changes and Polkadot Live receives a new balance notification, old balance event items will be removed from the UI, providing its linked to the same account. Only the newest event items for an account's subscriptions will be kept by the application.

Show Debugging Subscriptions

Control whether to display an optional category labeled Debugging under the Subscriptions tab in the main window.

Turned On

An optional category called Debugging will be added to the main window's Subscriptions tab. It will always be displayed as the last category, allowing your imported accounts and OpenGov subscribed-to chains to be listed above.

You can select a chain within the Debugging category to show a couple of "debugging" subscriptions that you can enable. Use these subscriptions to check whether your system is able to retrieve up-to-date information from the respective blockchain network.

Debugging subscriptions allow you to receive the latest timestamp and current slot for the selected network.

info

As discussed in the documentation's Subscriptions section, debugging subscriptions will only render event items, and will not show native OS notifications.

Turned Off

The Debugging category will not be rendered in the main window's Subcsriptions tab.
