Submittals - Allow for the creator of a Submittal to add watchers

[aishwariyad]

When creating a submittal, the Responsible Contractor is not able to add Watchers.

On our projects, only senior staff create submittals. These submittals often contain work produced by junior staff. The junior staff cannot be made default watchers as they should not have access to all submittals that are created, as some contain confidential information. Furthermore, we want to avoid the step where the Submittal Manager has to add Watchers to each submittal as this creates unnecessary admin.

It would be helpful if the Responsible Contractor could add Watchers. This would streamline the process for the Submittal Manager.

Yes, this will greatly assist by saving time and avoiding a lot of frustration of project members that cannot see Submittals relevant to them. The Submittal Manager cannot do all these things (because in our set-up, the Submittal Manager is not in the same company as the Creator or Responsible Contractor).

As a Submittal Manager, it becomes tedious adding individual watchers to Submittals. Especially when there are 10s of them to work through per day.

Yes, we need this! Or ideally you can update settings that company who is crating submittal is automatically added to watchers. Does it make any sense that only one person from company who created submittal can see their submittal? What happens when this creator is on holidays or sick leave? Entire construction site just waits? Who set up submittals like this? Please ask feedback from people working in construction, not IT, when you setting your system.
