In Figure 4 above, the form has been broken down into three sections:

Section 1	Source:This read-only field shows the asset which is assigned to be the source of follows. Owner only: Select this check box if you only want to receive the follow if you are the owner of that item Allocated only: Select this check box if you only want to receive the follow if the selected item is allocated to you
Section 2	These are the tabs that you can cycle through to edit each section of the follow source, the number of tabs at this section will depend on the source chosen. When you navigate to a new tabbed view in this popup, any information entered in Section 3 from the previous tabbed view will be saved. This means you do not need to click on any buttons to save each tab, but can instead click on the Add button at the bottom of the popup when you wish to add your new follow settings with the set details.
Section 3	This information will change as you cycle through the tabs shown in Section 2, and the available fields will change accordingly. A breakdown of the field information for each tab is provided below.

  Once you are happy with your selection click on the “Add follow” button at the bottom of the form. The new follow can be viewed in the Follows tab at the user’s view page, as shown in Figure 5.
