Watches
You can apply a watch to any entity if you want to be notified when another user changes, searches, or looks at an entity.
A watch can be:
-
Covert – Other users can't see you're watching the entity.
-
Overt – Other users can see you're watching the entity.
A watch you place on changing or looking at an entity can be overt or covert. A watch placed on a search is always covert.
Notifications about watches display in the Alerts section of the Navigator.
Depending on the type of entity you're watching, you can extend a watch to related entities.
For example, you'll be notified if you place an extended watch on searches for Peter Hawkin and another user searches for Richard Hawkin, who is associated with Peter Hawkin.
You need the required permission to manage watches.
