Add a Watchers

The ninth field of the detail pane allows to manage the task's Watchers. A task cannot have more than one responsible person. On the other hand, it is possible to add Watchers to the task so that they are notified for each action that concerns it.

  • The task is completed

  • The task is restarted

  • The task is deleted

  • The task is restored

  • The task is commented

  • The task has a new due date

  • The task has a new responsible

A user becomes a default watcher if :

  • He creates the task

  • He comments on the task

  • He delegates the task

  • A task is assigned to it

The user can add and remove himself as a watcher of the tasks to which he has access via a workspace. He can also remove the people he added as watcher. However, it is impossible to remove a watcher added by another user.

To add a watcher, click on the field and select another user.

Comment the task

The tenth field in the details pane allows you to communicate about the task. It is possible for example to :

  • Ask a question about the task;

  • Bring additional information about the task;

  • Follow up on the task; etc.

To comment the task, click on the field Type a comment here..., enter the comment, click on the tooltip icon or Enter to validate it.

Once the comment has been entered, it is possible to modify it by clicking on the pencil icon or to delete it by clicking on the trash can icon.
