This information will also be shown within the watch list overview.

A watch list belongs to the agent who created it. The list can be moved to another agent in the Watchlist Management screen. When moving a watch list to another agent, reminders will also be moved.

In this case, where the owner of the watch list is changed, the notification that is sent is different that the others. It can only be sent by the email notification method and it should not contain any ticket related OTRS smart tag (if so they will be removed before sending) as there is no ticket involved in the process that triggers the event.

The default Watchlist move notification is attached to the event WatchlistMoveNotification. This and any other ticket notification attached to the same event should prevent the use of these ticket related OTRS smart tags.

Reminders will only be sent if the assigned agent at this time still has access to the watch list containing the ticket and/or still is subscribed to the ticket.

There can only be one active reminder per agent and ticket. Notifications are only being sent every ten minutes.
