How To Manage Transaction Watchers

Written by Kayla Latta

Sisu includes a watch list feature on every transaction. Users added to this list, known as Watchers, are automatically notified whenever updates are made to a transaction form. This helps ensure key team members stay informed of any changes throughout the transaction process. Whether you prefer automated convenience or manual control, we give you the flexibility to manage watcher settings in a way that fits your workflow.

How To Automate Watchers

This section is intended for Admin and TC users within Sisu.

By default, the following users are automatically added as Watchers to their transactions:

  • Agents

  • TCs

  • ISAs

This automation helps streamline communication, but you also have full control to manually manage watchers on a per transaction basis.

You can also choose to automatically add Admin users as Watchers on all transactions. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. In the Transaction Preference Settings section, locate the "Automatically add all Admin users as transaction Watchers" setting.

  2. To the right of the setting, toggle to Enabled.

When enabled, Admin users will automatically be added as Watchers to all transactions. They can be removed manually on a per transaction basis if needed.

  2. To the right of the setting, toggle to Disabled.
