How can I observe objects?

Be informed as soon as someone changes the data of your observed object.

If you want to keep track of an objects’s details, you can observe it. That way, you’ll be notified by email as soon as someone saves a change.

Observe one object

Go to Objects in the menu and select the object you want to observe. Click the pencil icon to the left of the object, or double-click its row.

You’ll see the object’s detail view. Click More and select Observe.

In the menu that opens, select yourself or another person to be notified about changes to the object.

You can add more observers or click Save.

Observe multiple objects

To observe several objects at once, select them in the object list using the checkboxes. Then open More and select Start observing.

Note:

The multiple-selection option for observing assets only works for yourself. If you wish to assign multiple inventories to someone else to observe, please use the method described first above.

Receive notifications

Anyone who has enabled observation will receive a notification by email and in the Messages menu when an object is changed.

Note:

You will only receive a message if another user – i.e. someone other than yourself – has made a change to the object.

Stop observing one object

Go to the detail view of the object, select More, then select Observe.

Use the trash icon to remove anyone who should no longer receive notifications about changes. You can remove yourself or other users.

Click Save.

Stop observing multiple objects

To stop observing several objects yourself, select them in the list, open the More menu, and select Stop observing.
