The watcher feature in QMetry allows users to get an email update when an asset is modified. The purpose of watcher feature is to allow users stay updated on the progress of entities of their interest amd also allows users to start and stop watching an asset based on its updated priority.
For example, QA Manager or Tester wants to keep a watch over certain test assets that are important to the project and want themselves to be notified for any updates happening to such test assets, they can use the watcher functionality to get email notifications about the changes.
QMetry users can manage the watchers for different test assets like Requirements, Test cases, Test suite, issues etc. of the domains they have access for. The feature allows user to:
Open the 'View Watchers' screen from the entity details screen. A pop-up window will get opened → Click on 'Add Watcher' button, a 'User' drop-down list will appear that contains a list of users assigned to the current project.
An email notification will be sent to the user(s) who are on the Watcher’s list as soon as the entity is updated.
To remove an existing user from the watchers list, click the 'Remove' button from watchers screen for that particular user’s name.
