Create a place watch and test alert delivery
Set up an area watch in Witness Terminal, confirm that it covers the place you care about, and test where alerts are sent.
Choose a place and a reason to watch it
A watch asks Terminal to flag a change that matches its conditions. A map view shows the information in the area you are exploring.
Example: A team wants to learn when a reported incident near a warehouse could affect deliveries. It starts with the warehouse and the access roads it uses.
Create the watch
- Find the place.
Use Find a place and choose the matching result. Check the map before setting the watch area.
- Set the area and conditions.
Open Watch, start a new area watch, and check the center and radius. Choose the conditions that warrant a review and give the watch a name your team recognizes.
- Confirm it is enabled.
Save it, then open Watching. Confirm the watch appears there and its area covers the place you intended.
Test where alerts go
In Watch, open Watching and find the delivery destinations. With the appropriate workspace permissions, choose the destination and select Send test. Ask a teammate to confirm they see the test message in the intended channel or inbox.
