What is the Watcher functionality? (Stand-alone)

The Watcher functionality in ApprovalMax allows users to closely monitor and stay informed about specific approval requests within the system. When a user is assigned as a Watcher for a particular request, they will receive notifications and updates regarding the progress and status of the approvals, even if they are not directly involved in the approval process.

The Watcher functionality provides the following features:

1. Notifications: Watchers receive notifications via email when significant events occur within the request they are watching. This includes approvals or rejections, decision reworks, comments.

2. Visibility: Watchers can track the progress of the approvals they are monitoring within the ApprovalMax. They can see the current status, comments made, and any other relevant information related to the request.

3. Observation: although Watchers do not actively participate in approvals, they can observe the document. This ensures transparency and accountability throughout the process.

The Watcher functionality aims to provide visibility and engagement for users who need to stay up-to-date on specific approval processes without the need for direct involvement.
