Watching an Asset
This feature lets you request the right to be a watcher of the displayed asset.
You can watch or unwatch a single asset or a selected set of assets. The descriptions in this section give you details on how to do this.
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 be still be available via 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: | This functionality is not available to guest users. |
The following sections describe how to watch or unwatch assets.
