Watching Items


Users can set themselves up to "watch" any item in the ZenGRC System of Record. Anytime a watched item changes status, those who have signed up as watchers receive a notification. 

  • Example - Risk managers can monitor assessments, controls, systems, facilities, and audits to understand statuses at all times.
  • Example - The task/request creators can track progress on items without assigning themselves as a reviewers or verifiers.
