Viewing List of Watchers for Asset
The watch feature enables you to watch information on an asset. When you watch an asset, you receive a notification when changes are made to that asset's information. You can also unwatch changes that you have been watching.
When there is a change in the asset's information, CentraSite will automatically send notification of the changes through an email notification and/or Inbox notification (depending on how notification is configured in the User Preferences page).
Assets can be watched (added to your watch list) and unwatched (removed from your watch list). However, you can only add or remove assets to or from your own watch list.
When watching or unwatching an asset, keep the following points in mind:
*If you are not the owner of the asset, you cannot use the Watch or Unwatch feature unless you have Modify permission on the asset (granted though either a role-based permission or an instance-level permission).
*If you do not have the notification selected in the User Preferences page, the Watch or Unwatch icon will not be visible in the user interface (this functionality will still be available through the API).
*When you attempt to watch an asset for the first time, the Watch icon will be displayed in the user interface. However, if you are already watching the asset, then the Unwatch icon will be displayed.
Note:
The Watch and Unwatch functionality are not available to Guest users.
