Team Watchers

A Team Watcher can be managed by selecting Administrator >> Teams >> Manage System Teams. (To configure the Watchers email, edit a particular Team and select the Watchers tab).

A Team Watcher is a person who wishes to receive email notification of any changes that occur for Cases within a specific Team.

A Watcher does not have to be a user of the system and is defined by an email address. Eg a Manager at a remote site without access to the Help Desk or an employee/administrator overseas with access to an email account.

A Team Watcher receives an email notification each time the properties of a Case are changed. The email is based on a template known as the 'Team Watcher Template'. These templates are defined for each Team.

The Team Watcher Template is defined by a Subject and a Message. An example is given below:

Team Watcher example email Subject Code.

Example Subject

Team Watcher Notification - Ticket Number [CALLID].

Note: in the example above, if the Case Number was 90145, the Alert Notification Tag [CALLID] will be replaced with the appropriate Case number, resulting in an email subject line that may look like this:

Team Watcher Notification - Case Number 90145.

Team Watcher example email Message Code

Note: Double clicking the message box will display the HTML Editor allowing a user with no HTML experience to construct the message which is then converted to HTML in the message box.

Example Message

VersaDev Support - Team Watcher Notification

Case Number: [CALLID]

Subject: [SUBJECT]


Action:

This is a notification email sent by versaSRS. Please do not reply to this email.

Note: in the example above, the Alert Notification Tags [CALLID], [SUBJECT], [ACTION] and [DETAILS] will all be replaced with the appropriate fields.
