9.2. Ticket watching

From open-support.info

From OTRS 2.1 on, select agents such as supervisors can watch certain tickets within the system without processing them, by using the TicketWatcher feature.

The TicketWatcher feature can be activated with the configuration parameter Ticket::Watcher which adds new links to your actions toolbar. Using Ticket::WatcherGroup, one or more user groups with permission to watch tickets can also be defined.

In order to watch a ticket, go to its zoomed view and click on the "Subscribe" link in the ticket activities menu (see Figure 9.3 below).

If you no longer want to watch a specific ticket, go to its zoomed view and click on the "Unsubscribe" link in the ticket activities menu (see Figure 9.4 below).

Figure 9.4. Unsubscribing from watching a ticket in its zoomed view.

The list of all watched tickets can be accessed through the Watched view of the OTRS agent interface (see Figure 9.5 below), as soon as the ticket watcher feature gets activated.
